STRONGER SONS MENTORING PROGRAM

Paving the Way to a Brighter Future

The Stronger Sons Mentoring Program embodies the mission, vision, core values, and pillars of Stronger Than My Father. This initiative is dedicated to empowering fatherless youth by providing them with the tools and support needed to realize their full potential. Aligned with our mission to strengthen families and communities, Stronger Sons fosters an environment where young men are encouraged to pursue personal responsibility, dream building, and holistic well-being.

At the heart of Stronger Sons are the core values of leadership, integrity, and community engagement. By surrounding the youth with male role models who exemplify these qualities, we create a nurturing and inspiring atmosphere. Our mentors are outstanding leaders who guide participants through challenges and successes, instilling in them the principles of respect, discipline, and perseverance. Program participants meet with mentors in a group setting twice per month, engaging in sessions that discuss real-life issues, life skill training, and hands-on activities.

They also participate in off-site community service projects, college tours, and recreational field trips. Through this program, we envision a future where every young man, despite his circumstances, has the opportunity to grow into a productive, responsible, and empowered member of the community.
