Too many young men have never had a father present in their home to be a role model. When they become fathers themselves at an early age, they often do not know what their responsibilities are or how to meet these responsibilities. The results are devastating not only for them but also for their families and our community. From our inner city location, young men receive counseling and training that show them through Christian principles the way of being a responsible man, father and husband.
Support groups involve families as well.
In order to help fathers take financial responsibility for their family, the Mission will help them to obtain their GED, if needed. Jobs are also found through the Mission's network of caring employers. Long-term mentoring continues by providing healthy role models as the young participants learn how to provide a home for their families.
