To significantly increase the number of African Americans with graduate training in marriage and family. To accomplish this objective we will develop a master's level program in marriage and family that will provide students with a laboratory for:
To promote values and behaviors that increase healthy personal development (including character and personal
and civic responsibility) among African American youth and young adults, while providing them with the skills and knowledge
to make informed decisions about healthy relationships (including skills and knowledge that can help them eventually form

To meet this objective materials and programs (including mentoring programs) will be developed and disseminated by the
NCAAMP staff, Hampton University and Howard University students, partners, and consultants that provide youth and young
adults with information and skills that: 1) will facilitate character development; 2) increase their sense of self worth
and knowledge; 3) develop personal and civic responsibility; and 4) help them to have healthy relationships.
