About Us

BOSS exists to build the developmental infrastructure that transforms the potential of boys into educational attainment, economic mobility, and lifelong leadership.

BOSS (Business of Student Success) was founded in 2017 by Everett L. Glenn, a nationally recognized attorney, former NFL and NBA certified contract advisor, and lifelong advocate for expanding opportunity. After decades representing professional athletes, corporations, and public entities, Glenn came to a simple realization: while talent matters, long-term success is rarely achieved alone. The most successful people he encountered benefited from mentors who challenged them, opportunities that expanded their horizons, and developmental environments that cultivated the discipline, confidence, character, resilience, and relationships necessary to thrive. Having experienced the life-changing impact of educational opportunity himself, Glenn founded BOSS to ensure that more young people have access to those same advantages.

Today, BOSS is a year-round human development organization that builds the developmental infrastructure young people need to convert potential into educational attainment, economic mobility, and lifelong leadership. Serving boys and young men from middle school through college and into their careers, BOSS integrates academic support, mentorship, leadership development, sports-based youth development, STEM, artificial intelligence, data literacy, career exploration, internships, and industry engagement into a comprehensive ecosystem that prepares scholars to succeed in school, work, and life.

The BOSS model evolved through years of pilot programming beginning with the Taste the Game Celebration held during Super Bowls XLIII through 50 and partnerships with community organizations throughout California. What began as weekend programming serving a small group of boys has grown into a comprehensive, year-round model that has helped hundreds of young people strengthen academic performance, enroll in college, develop workforce skills, build professional networks, improve their health and well-being, and pursue meaningful careers while preparing to become leaders within their families and communities.

Everything BOSS does is grounded in six Pillars of Excellence—Mental, Emotional, Social, Physical, Economic, and Spiritual BOSS—which provide the framework for developing the whole person. Through daily tutoring, weekly coaching, sports and wellness programming, leadership development, career exposure, family engagement, and real-world learning experiences, BOSS helps scholars develop not only the academic and technical skills to succeed, but also the character, healthy habits, resilience, leadership, and decision-making abilities required to navigate an increasingly complex and technology-driven world.

At its core, BOSS believes potential is universal. Access and opportunity are not. Our mission is to build the developmental infrastructure that transforms potential into educational attainment, economic mobility, and lifelong leadership by ensuring every young person we serve has the knowledge, relationships, experiences, and support needed to become the driver of his own future.
