The Gentlemen’s Club GC
Gentlemen’s Club Brochure | GC Quarterly Newsletters | Sample Curriculum Founded in 1996 by Stephen G. Peters, the Gentlemen’s Club invested in 30 middle schools males. Listed in the school’s directory as the trouble- makers who made school unbearable for most, these young males made their way out of the principal’s office and onto honor rolls. Today, approximately 1,500 male students call themselves GENTLEMEN and are active members in The Gentlemen’s Club process. From California to Florida, elementary to high school, these young males are changing the way schools and society perceives them.
Designed to provide opportunities for participants to enhance self-esteem and self-image, the GC process is being used as a successful intervention tool in many inner city, urban and now rural school districts. Accompanied by a 40 unit curriculum, the club has truly produced highly successful students who were once lost in the shuffle. Last year alone, The Peters Group launched 25 new clubs nationally and expect an even greater number in 2008.
We have found that 90% of a school’s problems are caused by 10% of its’ population. We have targeted this 10% and are now making this sub-group of students’ part of the overall MANAGEMENT team of each of their school populations.
