Using books to reach out to "at risk" boys

[resqgeek]

From an article in today's paper: Dwayne Betts was arrested at age 16 for a carjacking, was tried as an adult, and was sentenced to prison. He was released in March 2005, and has since founded the YoungMenRead book club in suburban Maryland. His goal is to encourage teenage black boys to read and to be a mentor. He want them to avoid the mistakes he's made in his life. Hopefully he will succeed.
