African-centered Rites of Passage is a cultural practice and intervention that uses traditional African culture to facilitate the transition of young people to adulthood. Andre "Akintola" Turner, with over 20 years of experience in education and public health, provides an in-depth analysis of this practice through the Baltimore Rites of Passage Initiative. As a Senior Program Trainer Coach with the University of Maryland Social Work Positive Schools Center, he collaborates with school leaders to offer professional development for school staff, transforming school environments and climate.The Baltimore Rites of Passage Initiative (BROPI) is a program that helps young Black boys in Baltimore City transition into manhood with the help of Black men who have completed their own rites of passage. The program includes workshops on African history, fishing trips, and retreat camps. Boys also learn about healthy manhood and masculinity, as well as important life skills.
