You know him as an anchor and a reporter on ABC13, but for dozens of local young men, they know Chauncy Glover as a mentor and a way out.
Chauncy launched his mentoring organization in after watching a boy die on the streets of Detroit. The teen was shot while trying to rob his school's basketball coach. Now, the project is in Houston, changing the lives of young men through love and mentoring.
The Chauncy Glover Project is a hands-on mentoring organization for boys of color that ABC13 anchor Chauncy Glover started in 2013. CGP has mentored more than 350 young men and sent more than 200 to college. The program provides hands on mentoring through group empowerment sessions and one-on-one mentoring. All of the gents involved in CGP focus on college readiness, manhood, mental health, chivalry, dressing for success, public speaking and financial responsibility.
The young men typically come into the program shy and unsure, but they leave empowered and confident. Most of all, they gain another support system and a brotherhood. Mentoring can make all the difference, and the proof is in students like Jerry LeDoux. When LeDoux came into CGP, he was quiet, but eventually became the anchor for his high school journalism program. He graduated from Westfield High School and is now headed to Texas Southern University with a CGP scholarship to major in Communications.
