About

About Dylan's Dozens

Dylan's Dozens is a passion of JT da Barber, owner of Dylan's Barber Salon in Cleveland, OH. Dylan’s Barber Salon opened its doors in downtown Cleveland in 2008 and services over 200 clients a week. Dylan’s mission is to help improve the appearance and self-esteem of its clients. It is JT’s hard work and desire to give back to his community that motivates him to be involved with the youth. He saw first-hand how and why certain youth did not make it through the system. It is also his unique client-base that affords us the opportunity to engage positive role models and mentors for the youth who participate as Dylan’s Dozens.Vessel Work, Inc., a 501(c)3, has partnered with Dylan’s Barber Salon to begin Dylan's Dozens. The mission of Vessel Work, Inc. is to produce high-quality video productions that make a difference in people’s lives. Vessel Work, Inc. is committed to helping the poor and disadvantaged combat fears and become more successful members of their community by using the strength of the media to educate and motivate. In particular, Vessel Work, Inc. is committed to fostering creativity and entrepreneurship in our youth through Dylan's Dozens.Dylan's Dozens expected outcomes include:1. Increase math, reading, science and technology skills of the youth;2. Increase the youths’ self-esteem and motivation to succeed;3. Prepare youth for jobs in the 21st century;4.

A volunteer group of teachers who specilizes in science and math tutoring is already on board as well as a teacher from the Cleveland Public Schools. Dylan's Dozens will begin in Fall of 2011. It will be offered twice a week initially, with plenty of room to expand the Dylan's Dozens model to multiple locations. The success of Dylan’s Dozens will be judged on youth academic achievement, school attendance, reduced incident reports and better interpersonal behavior. Academic achievement will be measured by improvement on the school’s standardized tests including Ohio achievement tests and Pre SAT tests. The principals of schools with youth in Dylan's Dozens will measure success by using a pre-program evaluation of student’s behavior, attendance, and grades and post-program evaluation of the same. Parent involvement in the pre and post program evaluation is also expected. We expect positive post-program reports on every member of Dylan's Dozens.
