To build connection and wellness, we offer vibrant recreational outlets, all working together to provide the tools and opportunities for our neighbors to build a brighter future.

MARCH 2 MANHOOD

M2M is a 10-month intentional mentoring program that empowers and equips young men ages 18-28 from challenging backgrounds to become servant leaders and productive adults. The program achieves this by focusing on three core areas: vocational and career education—including on-site visits with professionals—spiritual/relational development, and teaching essential life skills, all while providing opportunities to build healthy hobbies and forge meaningful relationships with positive role models and peers. Our next cohort begins in September 2026.
