Rangers enrolled in the program are in grades 6 \u2013 12 and programming is geared to the various age levels , educational needs, and age-related life skills, including mentoring sessions designed to assist our rangers navigate through school and life, acknowledging the issues faced by African-American males. Issues that may not be faced by many non-minority communities. All programs and activities are designed to offset some of the major problems affecting young men of color in the metropolitan area, including mentoring to ensure they achieve passing grades and graduate; development\/implementation of each ranger\u2019s individual career plans; and ways to avoid involvement in criminal activities.<\/p>\n
URC offers year-round programmng to 150 students. Since its inception, URC has worked with more than 1123 young men. All the youth we serve live in high-risk Kansas City neighborhoods and are exposed to prevalent criminogenic factors that include neighborhood economic deprivation: high crime and violence rates; availability of drugs; low expectations\/aspirations for school; and chronic absenteeism. 90% attend Kansas City, MO or Kansas City, KS middle or high schools. All are African American; 92% are from single parent, low income households, 97.3% maintain GPA\u2019s of 2.0 or higher and 20% maintain GPA\u2019s of 3.0 or higher; 100% attend school regularly, and missing no more than 5 days in a school year.
