Call to action

What we are providing

The vision I see is young, developed minds armed with the sword

of confidence, the shield of faith on God and within themselves, and

the words of truth, wisdom and understanding as they take their

rightful place in society as leaders in their community. I see them

helping others, as they were helped, to know and understand their

purpose, power, and strength, as they now do, and are executing

everything they learned. This will make them become vital, purposeful

men and icons in the community and their family homes.

Our Approach

Own-up ship

We will begin with the meaning of Own-up ship. They will learn and understand the Duties, responses, and response-abilities of becoming and being a man in the home, community and in today’s society. They will learn how to own up to their own mistakes without blaming anyone else for what has happened in their lives.

Balancing

 Balance is realizing that it is alright to tap into your emotions. We are ¾ female anyway and this is why we even have emotions. When it comes to balance, we will help the young men learn to use the right side of the brain more with intension. Being balance is learning that just because you can fight or hold down a job or make good grades in school that does not officiate you to being a man; it just means that you can respond to your ability and therefore you are response able. The young men will learn that their balance is what officiate them as being men. When they can tap into their female side and understand themselves without false judgement, then they can call themselves a man.

Positivity

Positive Thinking helps one to learn to break the barriers of habitual negative thinking, conditioned thinking, etc. learning to recognize when the thought presents themselves as negative and

being able to dispel those thought and make powerless over their domain is a powerful tool to use when confronted with so much adversity.

Self-Awareness

Self-awareness is one of the processes of learning how to think. Once learns how to think through self-awareness. They then begin to understand how to question themselves and the situation they are in. if it makes sense to them then they can move forward in their endeavor; however, if what they are questioning and reasoning about does not make sense to them, then more than likely the

endeavor should not be pursued and they should correct the course of their current situation to a more profitable and comfortable direction. When you are self-aware of a situation that you are in you are not reacting, but you are taking control and regulating the situation to meet your preferred outcome that will alleviate any and

all possible conflicts of interest. You become the thermostat and not the thermometer.
