Manhood ABC, LLC is an Alternative Education - Community Based Vehicle for adolescent boys, restoring mental wellness.
A boy must first be restored to himself, before he can be restored to someone else! His mental wellness must be a high priority to his chances of achieving success.
Many boys live most their lives unrecognized and feel dehumanized.
Once a boy learns to love himself, he will care about loving someone else.
Due to Covid-19 many of the boys we served have not recovered from the loss of learning and are struggling with regaining their focus due to the stress created by the pandemic we all have endured. Manhood ABC's curriculum will help each boy regain the confidence necessary to perform and achieve their educational goals.

According to the National Conference of State Legislatures (NCLS) Each year, an estimated 4.2 million youth and young adults experience homelessness, of which 700,000 are unaccompanied minors, meaning they are not part of a family or accompanied by a parent or guardian. On any given night, approximately 41,000 unaccompanied youth ages 13-25 experience homelessness.
Research from the National Center for Educational Statistics (NCES) reports that in 2017, the event dropout rate for 15- to 24-year-old males (5.4 percent) was higher than the rate for females (3.9 percent; figure 1.1 and table 1.2); however, there generally have not been measurable differences between the event dropout rates for male and female 15- to 24-year-olds over the past 40 years (table 1.2). During this period, the only other years in which there were measurable differences between male and female event dropout rates were 1978, 2000, and 2001. As in 2017, in each of these three years the event dropout rate for males was higher than the rate for females.
According to an article published in The American Journal of Public Health, May 2014, Research has consistently shown that gang membership has proximal adverse consequences during adolescence that, in turn, lead to significant social and economic costs.1–3 Active gang members are much more likely than their nongang peers to engage in criminal behavior,2,4,5 especially serious and violent offending6; in addition, they are more likely to be involved in drug use and selling,5 have more difficulties in school,4 and are more likely to be violently victimized.3 However, with few exceptions, there is scant research on possible broader, long-term public health consequences of gang membership.7–9
The ACLU reports that on any given day, nearly 60,000 youth under age 18 are incarcerated in juvenile jails and prisons in the United States. For each state, this map shows the number of youth incarcerated per 100,000 people. These rates vary widely. But in every state, confining young people – cutting them off from their families, disrupting their educations, and often exposing them to further trauma and violence – harms their development and has lifelong negative consequences.
