The Crisis We're Addressing

Research published by the RAND Corporation in 2025 confirms what communities have long felt: boys and young men across America are facing a mentorship crisis with measurable, generational consequences.

1 in 3 boys and young men have no adult male to turn to for help with schoolwork or relationships

1 in 4 lack a male mentor to help guide their future planning

2.5x higher prevalence of behavioral problems in father-absent households

70% higher risk of dropping out of school without stable male guidance
