ABC-7 School Zone – Manatee Middle School

Collier County deputies teach Manatee Middle School students how to tie a tie as part of The Shelter’s eight-week Raising Gentle’men program. Led by The Shelter’s Raising Gentle’men Advocate Rocco Costa, the class encourages boys to challenge traditional aggressive male stereotypes and promote healthy relationships. Raising Gentle’men is presented in Collier County Middle Schools and after school programs.
