Dress to Impress: Learn to Tie a Tie

A Free Skill-Building Workshop for Young Men

Looking sharp is more than style — it’s confidence, discipline, and self-respect. This hands-on workshop teaches young men the essential skill of tying a necktie and understanding why presentation matters.

Hosted by the 5% Mentors, this session focuses on practical training, meaningful conversation, and passing knowledge to the next generation.

What We’ll Cover

• How to Tie a Necktie: Step-by-step instruction plus guidance on measuring and adjusting the tie so it fits each young man properly.
• Why Presentation Matters: A real conversation about how appearance affects first impressions and daily interactions.
• Passing Down Knowledge: Why men must teach skills, traditions, and wisdom so they aren’t lost.

Age Range

Recommended for young men ages 12–17, but a little younger or older is fine at a parent’s discretion.
