A Community
The Man Up Club is more than a program: it’s a community that offers hope, love, and leadership. Designed to influence inner-city youth and urban culture, the mission of the Man Up Club is to develop boys into young men of character. We do this through one-on-one and group mentorship, educational activities, and community immersion.
The Man Up Club mentors in four distinctive areas: life skills, social skills, academic discipline, and civic responsibility. The Man Up Club has three main goals: ensure members graduate high school, avoid the prison pipeline, and pursue college or trade school.
