Our Mission
Mission Statement
It is the mission of Manhood ABC, LLC (MABC) to challenge at risk adolescent boys with social and emotional deficits in the denominator of their learning. We will challenge them to make the numerator of their lives as men, as productive as possible. MABC is a Facility and Site Based Program (FSBP). This includes but is not limited to schools, community centers, juvenile halls and church buildings.
An adolescent boy’s education, examples and experiences will determine what kind of man he will be. It is the goal of Manhood ABC to assist, direct and challenge these boys. It is our goal to encourage them to take advantage of these three areas during the last stage (adolescence) of their formative years, as they approach their own manhood.
