The African Heritage Rites Of Passage Systems
Purpose
History, Culture, Heritage, and Purpose
The Rites of Discovery Academies and the African Heritage Rites Of Passage TM Systems are a set of sophisticated, intense, all-encompassing processes and ceremonies for the adulthood training of youth of African descent. These systems contain basic and advanced training sessions, induction and initiation sequences, traditional education classes, Rites of Discovery workshops, and Human Development Programs. Youth are trained and challenged physically, mentally, cognitively, socially, religiously, spiritually, intellectually, emotionally, economically, and culturally to become the Global Leaders, Nation Builders, and Elders of tomorrow. The outcomes of these systems are young males transforming into dynamic men, and young females transforming into dynamic women.
The African Heritage Rites Of Passage TM Systems are traced directly to Africa earlier than 6,000 BCE and have existed among ancient Global Black civilizations since the dawn of time, and among the Atlantic African and American/"New World" Black societies long before, during, and after the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade. The systems increase the self-esteem and maximize the self-reliance in our youth, and directly reduce violent, truant, and delinquent behaviors. ROAD workshops include trainings in Respect/Responsibility, Order, Authority, and Discipline.
Accept no pale imitations of our Authentic African and Black Heritage Traditions.

The Rites Of Passage Systems are organized ceremonies, rites, activities, events, programs, trips, and advanced trainings for youth (males and females) ages 10 to 13 years of age (Pubescent), and ages 14 to 18 years of age (Adolescent). Youth become congregated into a Nexus (generational link) according to age, and then according to gender (male or female).

Status changes are instant once the 18 month systems are completed. The status change includes new roles and responsibilities for the age-grades, and each individual youth. After completion of all requirements, the successful participants will reflect the following eight (8) standard traits and attributes in all aspects of their daily lives:
01) Quality of Leadership;
