About Young Warriors

Young Warriors (YW) is a family strengthening program designed for boys living in absent-father homes or boys deemed at-risk and lacking consistent positive males in their lives. 

A significant majority of boys in absent-father homes are hurting so deeply that they often become unproductive and destructive members of society; in fact, 85% of men in prisons come from fatherless homes. As a result of the letdowns they experience from lack of a positive male relationship, these boys view the world as a threatening place. This distrust holds them back from developing into educated, healthy adults.

Young Warriors interrupts the cycle of distrust and hopelessness by committing long-term to each boy and providing them with positive adult male role models, or "mentors," who care deeply about them. A main focus of the Young Warriors program is to restore trust and develop positive, healthy male-to-male relationships. Other goals include training, guiding, and inspiring progression toward education and authentic manhood. Young Warriors also provides much needed guidance to parents and guardians through our mandatory single-parent curriculum. Parenting experts deliver a focused curriculum in a non-threatening and informative way. Parents are supported and equipped with tools and strategies that will help them to meet the needs of the children in their care. The physical, emotional and social needs of boys and mothers in absent-father homes are the central focus of the programs provided by Young Warriors.
