The Breakfast Group adopted The Project M.I.S.T.E.R. Program™ (Male Involvement & Service To Encourage Responsibility) 33 years ago to provide intervention opportunities between successful African American adult males and “at risk” African American - youth which we call Opportunity Youth. 

The program was established in collaboration with Medina Children’s Services (now Amara) during its first 14 years. 

The Project M.I.S.T.E.R.™ Program is school-based and operates in Garfield, Franklin, Cleveland, Rainier Beach and Roosevelt High Schools. 

A Breakfast Group sponsored instructor is provided at each school site to teach daily classes based on a curriculum entitled “Life Skills—Education, Employment, Personal Responsibility”, which was developed by The Breakfast Group. 

We believe that with equitable educational opportunities, a person’s life circumstances can be impacted substantially. Students are held to high standards and expected to be present and to actively participate in the course activities and curriculum. 

Many of the Project M.I.S.T.E.R.™ students are invited to attend the annual Tie-One-On Luncheon along with other students from a variety of schools.
