Join us as we explore the disorder and treatments that work. |

“If we don’t initiate the young men, they will burn down the village” - African Proverb Our nation’s young men of color are getting disciplined in school, dropping out, and facing unemployment and involvement in the criminal-justice system at disproportionately high rates. Club mentors create a safe space for young men to come together weekly in circles to have fun, enjoy food and engage in the process of removing the mask of masculinity; peeling off the layers of pain, frustration, fear, sadness and disappointment. Through this work, the young men start to show up with greater passion and purpose, which provides them with a clearer life direction. |
