WHAT WE DO
The Mentoring and Nurturing (M.A.N.) Program offers guidance to at-risk youth and formerly incarcerated individuals. Our goal is to reduce incarceration and dropout rates in Western New York. The M.A.N. Program works with at-risk youth who typically come from hard backgrounds. Our programming offers character-building curriculum, mentoring, and tutoring. M.A.N. is a part of the Coalition for Parole Restoration, a registered 501(c)(3) organization that provides support, counseling, and resources to formerly incarcerated individuals and their families.
We work with at-risk individuals up to age 23. We build trusting relationships and offer a safe environment for them to open up about the various emotional challenges they face. Our methods are always centered on mentoring and nurturing. Read more about who we are and our history on the About Us page.

OUR CAUSE
There are currently 2.3 million people behind bars in the United States. The majority of those prisoners are men, and nearly one million are African American. The statistics are daunting. The effects are pervasive. But the solution is in front of us.
