Dream.

Commit.

Do.

Mentoring at its finest.

The effects of broken families are staggering. Young men from fatherless homes, bear far worse in overall well-being, including mental and behavioral health. These children are often burdened with lower self-esteem and are lost with the idea of why their fathers abandon them.

Our mission is to empower young men who have experienced fatherlessness by providing mentorship programs that equip them with tools, values and the mindset to lead positive lives of purpose and impact.

This power packed three day camp provides space to cultivate lasting relationships and growth as members of society.

  • COMMITTED to Our Community

    Our community service projects engage boys and young men in volunteer activities that encourage empathy and a sense of responsibility towards their community. These day long experiences leave lasting impressions that influence the youth to give more of themselves to others.

  • That’s What I’m Thinking

    Our open forum program provides a safe space for boys and young men to openly share and discuss their experiences, concerns, fears, and ideas on topics relevant to their lives and communities.

  • Mom on Your Side

    Our Mom on Your Side program supports and encourages the women who champion and inspire these boys and young men on their life’s journey. We spend time pouring back into the lives of the ones our young men depend on the most.
