Our mission at man2MAN Outreach Inc. is to strive to empower our young men to find their strength and a conviction; giving them the ability to say no when something presents itself that is not in line with the path God has set out for them. We believe that by giving a young man a choice means giving them power, by giving these young men the correct information they can utilize that information to make solid and productive decisions for the betterment of their lives as well as their families.
man2MAN Outreach Inc. is a 501(c)3 organization. The name man2MAN symbolizes the growth from a young "man" to an adult "MAN." It is a perfect way to describe what as an organization we are doing in the lives of young men. Our monthly meeting are set up for adult MEN and young men to have an opportunity to have a real and true conversation about some of the pitfalls and the joyful moments they face or have faced in their lives daily. These meetings are our opportunity to create a safe environment which helps young men develop a sense of purpose, boost their self-esteem, build their skills for success, and empowers them to choose to live outside of the box create for them by society.
man2MAN Outreach Inc. began in the summer of 2013 to keep a group of young men that I had coached aged out of the YMCA basketball program off the streets and out of trouble. In truth, it began some years before on August 9, 2008. That was day man that I had coached and mentored was murdered, and after hearing the news of his death, a decision was made to arm these young men not with guns or knives but with knowledge and a standard for godly manhood.
