Where Boys Become Men - On Purpose.
MEANT 2 B MEN
More Than Mentorship.
It's a Movement.
Launched on March 12, 2024, Meant 2 B Men was created to meet a rising need: consistent, real, and community-rooted mentorship for young men.
We’re not your average program. We don’t just talk about becoming better — we show our boys what better looks like. Every other week, we meet at various locations around the city — museums, businesses, parks, community spaces — to expose our boys to leadership, excellence, and purpose in action.
This is how we teach them to lead, love, and grow — with respect, courage, integrity, self-control, and chivalry as their foundation.
Our Core Values
Respect
Always treating others and self with dignity
Integrity & Chivalry
Doing what's right, even when no one's watching while leading with strength, kindness and honor.
Courage
Facing life with boldness and bravery
Self-Control
Making wise choices in every situation
Growth doesn’t happen by accident. It’s Meant 2 B.
Mentorship in Real Life,
Not Just the Classroom
Our young men don’t just hear it — they see it, experience it, and live it.
We meet biweekly in diverse locations across our city to introduce them to local professionals, cultural institutions, and powerful real-life role models. From walking through historic landmarks to meeting business owners, each session is an opportunity to discover who they can become.
