Gentlemen of Excellence (GoE)
Gentlemen of Excellence (GoE)
GoE Forth!
Gentlemen of Excellence is an organization for young men created by Mr. Reginald Williams. After working in the school system for the past three years, Reginald, like Earvin Johnson, recognized that "all kids need a little help, a little hope, and someone who believes in them." Seeing that young men lacked certain life skills and could use guidance inspired him to develop the foundation for GoE.
