This is my community. I am responsible for what happens here, how it looks here and what I do here.

Our Mission  

Our mission is to empower African American men with the tools, resources, and support they need to achieve Sustainable Manhood, grounded in clear evidence that they have disproportionately been victims of systemic inequities, marginalization, violence, and incarceration. By addressing these barriers, we help them uplift their communities—from their own house to the White House—improving conditions for everyone and transforming the cost of neglect into an investment in hope, resilience, and lasting change.

Our Vision  

We envision a world where African American men break the chains that have historically held them back, and rise as powerful leaders and positive role models, confidently shaping their own communities with dignity and purpose.  We dream of a future where African American children grow up knowing their dreams are within reach and their voices matter as much as any other in society.  We imagine communities nationwide filled with peace, safety, and support, where equity thrives in every arena - education, business, politics, the arts, and community engagement. We envision a world where African American men reclaim their potential and uplift those around them, helping to create a network of strength, resilience, and lasting change; a world where every African American man has the resources, respect, and support to succeed—and where that success inspires generations to come.
