OUR WHY
On any given day, over 48,000 youth in the United States are confined in facilities away from home and family because of juvenile justice or criminal justice involvement.
Thousands are held without having a trial.
Thousands of youths pass through the Georgia Department of Juvenile Justice each year. 65% of children will likely end up back in the system. Of that number, 80.2 % are males.
Suicide rates among teens have reached their highest point in nearly two decades. The surge is particularly strong among teen boys, up 14% between 2015 - 2017.
In Metro Atlanta the Juvenile crime rate is 15% higher than the National Average.
OUR WHAT
We believe many youth are making these unwise choices due to lack of role models. With these astounding statistics in mind, we have taken on the responsibility of helping as many young men as possible, to avoid taking this negative & self-destructive route in Life.
So, we created The M.E.N.S Club
● Our Mission: Equip Young Men with the Proper Tools to Succeed in Life.
● Our Vision: Restore the Head of the Family by Cultivating Young Men, to be Complete Gentlemen, of Good Character in the Future.
The MENS Club is an all-male mentoring program meant to enrich young men ages 6 - 12.
Our focus is the help at-risk young men become holistically
Fit for The Future in Mind, Body, & Spirit!
We currently operate out of Douglas Co. Georgia, since our inception in 2014.
OUR HOW
We accomplish these Goals by: Meeting with the Young Men 3x per week & Developing a Genuine Relationship with each Brother Enrolled in The Brotherhood.
We teach the young men Real Life Applicable Skills such as: Self-Love, Free Thought, Confidence, Fearlessness, Character, Body Control, Dedication, Discipline, Organisation, Emotional Intelligence, Time Management, Money Management, Efficiency, Compassion, Responsibility, Cleanliness, Proper Etiquette, Attire, & Much More…
We believe our approach to mentoring will help young men have a better outlook on their life and a higher potential of success in their personal future.
