non-profits & non-profit services

The Menformation Project, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) community based non-profit organization founded in 2008. We conduct group mentoring and rites of passage for 8 to 17 year old boys of color. Our mission is to help at-risk boys stay in school and stay out of jail. Our team of mentors inspire our boys to live a life of integrity guided by the 22 Principles of Manhood. We bring boys together with men from all walks of life, in a safe & fun environment to share life-skills and goal setting tools to encourage and cultivate positive growth in character, educational aptitudes and financial literacy. Our group mentoring relationship is a 10-month commitment. Any boy can attend free of cost. We maintain a 3:1 ratio of boys to mentors in teams. Studies have shown that boys who are mentored well ~ 98% stay in school; 98% do not become teen parents; 85% do not use drugs; and 98% avoid gang participation. [source: California Mentor Foundation] MENFORMATION works in partnership with Challengers Boys & Girls Club and local charter schools in this low and moderate income area of South Central Los Angeles. MENFORMATION impacts the lives of several hundred inner-city boys; most live in father-absent households and do not have positive male role models. MENFORMATION delivers social services to disadvantaged boys to produce individual child development and improve overall community development.
