TEACHING YOUNG MEN HOW TO ACT THIS WAY.
OUR STORY
Men Act This Way began during the 2013-2014 school year when a 3rd grade teacher invited Mr. Keith W. Mitchell to speak to her class at then Cusseta Road Elementary.
OUR PROGRAMS
Men Act This Way programs were created to promote social skills, community, skill-building, and more to the young men of today to better prepare them in life goals and life choices.
GET INVOLVED
Our Mentorship program requires the right individuals to take the reigns to support and encourage our fledgling young men to assist in their development and growth. If this is you, you’re in the right place.

WHEN MENTORSHIP SHOWS UP
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, about 1 in 4 children in the United States lives without a biological, step, or adoptive father in the home. Men Act This Way responds by creating positive mentorship spaces where young men can practice leadership, responsibility, respect, and purpose.
IT’S A SOCIETAL PROBLEM
How can Men Act This Way fill the gap?
