Youths:

ManUP! uses critical mentoring theory to empower youths (14-24 y.o.), ManUp! employs the assistance of positive African-American and Latino role models to mentor youths, with the goal of reducing at-risk behaviors, to include but not limited to gun violence, substance abuse, gang engagement, teen pregnancy and fatherhood; teen dating and sexual violence, intimate partner violence (IPV); and bullying. The overall objective of all mentoring activities is to help build and strengthen the character of young at-risk boys, empowering them to become strong character-based men.

Mentors:

All mentors working with ManUp! are trained in the critical mentoring theory, which pairs positive adult males with youths, from similar backgrounds and experiences.
Mentors are asked to commit a minimum of one year, while engaging youths twice a week for at least 1 hour per session.
Mentoring is group-based and may be in-person or virtual.
