A Fatherless Generation.Millions of youth are growing up without a father in their home, many living without even one father-figure or male role model in their life. 85% of all youths in prison come from homes without a father. Youth without fathers who are involved are 75% more likely to drop out of school. 90% of all homeless and runaway children are from fatherless homes.
An enormous amount of music and media consumed by youth daily is riddled with violence, hate, drug abuse, and many other harmful things. For many, this music is the only male voice(s) they have in their lives. Many youth are growing up without a father in the home, a father-figure in the community, or even a male role model in their life. 85% of youth in prison come from homes without a father. Youth without involved fathers are 75% more likely to drop out of school. 90% of homeless and runaway children are from fatherless homes. Youth today are overwhelmed with an enormous amount of media riddled with violence, hate, drug abuse, and more. For many, this oftentimes becomes the dominant male voice in their lives. We identified a gap in the community: today's youth desperately need male role models in their lives.

The core of The Man Up Club is simply for our young men to show up. Show up to school, to class, to work, for each other, and to graduate. Every kid in our program is unique, gifted and worth investing in.” |
