Our mission: “to inspire, train and empower men and boys to lead lives of nonviolence.”
Our vision: a world in which men once again perform their traditional role of raising boys to be productive, respectful and nonviolent members of society…a world in which leaders model the highest standards of what it means to be a man. . . a world in which men are involved, skilled and responsible fathers.
Our goal: to perfect The MEN Model and The MEN Programs here in the multi-cultural crossroads of Taos,
New Mexico, and to establish a center for training men
from communities all across America.
Our Six Core Programs:
- In-School Mentorship Program
- Support Groups Program
- Fatherhood Program
- Activities Program
- Workforce Development Program
- Media Campaign
“In The MEN Model, Nonviolence means more
than simply not being violent: it means getting
what you need without hurting anyone. To do that, you have to know yourself – your needs, your hopes and fears, your shortcomings and your gifts. Your sense of manhood must be bedrock-strong. You must have consummate self-control, informed by respectful awareness of other people’s needs. And you have to master the skills which make life work for everyone – as workmates, as couples, as family,
as community. Taken to its full potential, Nonviolence cuts across all differences and encompasses every value and every hope we hold in common. This is what MEN is intent on creating.”
