GENTS (Guys Engaging and Nurturing Tomorrow's Scholars) is a PSE's men's volunteer group.
Our goals are simple:
Give students more opportunities to interact with positive male role models.
Lend a hand at key school events like the Winter Carnival.
We’re starting small — just one hour a week from one male volunteer on campus—and we’ll grow from there.
After you sign up, we'll be in touch to confirm your role and schedule.
