First and Goal, Inc. - Journey Beyond Dreams College Experience Program at Baylor University 2010

This year's Journey Beyond Dreams College Experience Program impacted the lives of high school students from Houston and Waco.  The program provided students with a realistic view of college, and exposed the students to campus life.  The six day program, facilitated at Baylor University in Waco, Texas, equipped students with the tools, techniques and resources to be successful in college and in their everyday lives.

"The Journey Beyond Dreams college experience program at Baylor University was an amazing experience, I learned a lot of things about college like what Universities are IVY League, how to write a college essay and fill out an application. I learned about the 4 P's in Business class which was product, promotion, place, and price. Most of all I planned the road to my dream and was able to really understand and know where I want to be in the future and why. The other students that were present at the camp were amazing. They were friendly, nice, respectful and they were fun to be around. Everyone was unique in their own way and it was a perfect combination of students. Also the camp counselors and facilitators were full of knowledge and everyday they had an exciting activities for us to do. Last but not the least Tyrone Smith there is a lot to say about him but most of all he was full of energy and motivation he always knew how to connect to us and make us laugh. I could keep going about amazing this program is but I noticed I have written a lot. I believe this program is very important because we learn a lot of things and most of all how you work together to accomplish something, it was just a week but a very long week of fun and I hope and pray that this program continue and every child should have the chance to experience it."

In June Tyrone Smith, Dr. Mark Alexander, Charlie Ward and Ben Bronson got the opportunity to present at the 100 Black Men of America, Inc. annual conference in Hollywood, Florida to middle and high school at a workshop titled "Get ready! Get fit!" Students learned about the effects of childhood obesity on health, learning, and social skills. They discovered ways to combat childhood obesity through after-school programs, team-based programs, and online child-targeted outreaches.


"Health and wellness should be an everyday lifestyle for today's youth."

Making a Difference


TEAM First and Goal facilitated group mentoring sessions at O'Donnell Middle School in Alief ISD. The sessions focused on conflict resolution as well as leadership skill building.  The purpose of the sessions were to impress upon the young men the  desire to see their own ability to rise above the pitfalls of their environments and reach their greatest potential.
