Battle Ready Men is for adolescent boys to listen, learn, and engage in character-building disciplines of manhood from mature men.
Pairing adolescent boys with mature men provides our youths with someone who will cultivate character and leadership qualities in them. The program is dedicated to cultivating an emphasis on Respect, Excellence, Academics, Leadership {REAL}. We aspire to train and equip young men to be productive citizens as they transition from youth to teenagers
Our mentors work with our mentees in an individual setting and within a group, thus encouraging mentees to learn from other mentees. We also seek to create and develop a safe, supportive environment to provide constructive and positive encouragement for all mentees. Our program offers a real-life approach to circumstances that our mentees will inevitably face in life.
