Man 2 Man is a school-based male empowerment program that supports the academic, social-emotional, and leadership development of young men in urban school communities. Our group meets every other week, providing a safe space for students to grow as leaders, support one another, and strive to become the best versions of themselves.

This year, we have the opportunity to take our participants to Washington, D.C. to visit the African American Museum, the Lincoln Memorial, and the Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial. For many of our young men, this is more than just a trip—it’s a chance to step outside of their everyday environment, connect with history, and see what’s possible for their future. The trip has been approved by our school district, but due to a significant budget deficit for the 2025–2026 school year, we were informed that transportation will not be covered. While we’ve already raised some funds through a previous fundraiser, we still need help to make this experience possible.

All funds collected will go directly towards covering the remaining cost of the bus and providing snacks for our participants during the trip. If you are able to donate, we truly appreciate your support. If not, sharing this page or sending words of encouragement means just as much to us. We are asking our community to come together and stand behind our young men, ensuring they have the opportunity to experience something bigger and continue their journey of growth and leadership. Thank you for standing with us and supporting our youth.
