| Mission Eagle’s Nest Learning Center’s mission is to cultivate in boys a passion to know and live by Christian virtue. It also seeks to motivate and inspire them to excel academically, and to develop in them a sense of responsibility to self and others that will help transform their communities. |
|
| Vision Eagle’s Nest Learning Center ’s vision is to rebuild the foundation of education for young boys by establishing learning centers that provide tutoring, mentoring and character development in impoverished urban areas. Eagle’s Nest will help boys develop habits of hard work, strong ethics, and positive self-images to enable them to make the most of their God-given talents, to mature into upright men who will be instruments of renewal, breaking the cycle of poverty and violence that ensnare so many generations of young men in America ’s urban areas. |

History As a police officer in the mid 1980’s, Eagle’s Nest founder George Duncan noticed that much of the trouble young boys experienced could be avoided with early intervention. This observation gave birth to his vision for helping boys, inspiring him to change his career to education. In 1988 as a Boston middle school teacher, Mr. Duncan created Boys on a Mission, an after-school program supporting the academic, social, and moral development of young males. A huge success, the program encouraged boys to approach school as a mission. Based on the impact of this program and after gaining work experience as a site director and Program Director in other organizations, Mr. Duncan made his vision a reality by establishing Eagle’s Nest Learning Center, which opened its doors in 2009.
