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.
