WHAT WE DO
We connect mentees to job opportunities and other resources while also providing help with criminal justice issues if necessary. We can provide transportation assistance and make referrals to assist with food, housing, and other needs.
12 Week Curriculum
Our 12 week curriculum is designed to provide a roadmap for men who are seeking ways to turn their lives around and meet their full potential. We bring in experts and others whose lived experience makes them credible messengers who can provide instruction in a language our mentees understand.
Connecting Mentees to Resources
Our social work team maintains a database of resources to assist mentees in our five focus areas:
Employment
Criminal Justice
Education
Financial Literacy
Fatherhood & Family
LET US HELP YOU
Mentoring sessions are held Tuesdays, 6pm-8pm at 4 locations around the city.
