Celebrating Success is a M.U.S.T.
“I recently graduated and will be attending Morehouse College this Fall to study Business Finance. I don’t know if this life would be my life without being in M.U.S.T. Thank you all for believing in me, the mentorship, and the support. This Senior trip was the best outing ever for me!” ~K. Johnson c/o 2025
As we enter the 2025-2026 school year, we want to recognize that it is essential to celebrate the outcomes of the hard work that our Mentees and Mentors will be imparting this coming year.
Work Hard. Play Hard.
We MUST give our young males their flowers as they continue to liberate themselves!
M.U.S.T. kicked off this summer’s experiences with the 4th Annual Graduate Getaway. To celebrate the 2025 graduate Mentees, the M.U.S.T. leadership team whisked the group to Southern California for three days of fun to acknowledge their hard work, resilience, and growth over the past four years.
M.U.S.T. graduates were treated to this once-in-a-lifetime experience exploring iconic sites like the Santa Monica Pier, Universal Studios, the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and the Beverly Hills shopping district, while also enjoying local restaurants and soaking in the vibrant culture of L.A. However, the annual M.U.S.T. Graduation Getaway is not just about fun and sightseeing — it’s a powerful statement of affirmation, showing our young men that the world is bigger and more diverse than their zip code, that opportunities exist far beyond where they come from, and that their dreams are worth chasing.
Most of these graduates will enter college this fall, while others are stepping into promising careers. Each one carries the lessons, relationships, and confidence they’ve built through M.U.S.T. into their next chapter.
