Male Mentors. You are Needed Today!

Have you noticed the number of young men who are walking around in our communities without any direction? They need strong men who can provide guidance, accountability and encouragement when everyone else leaves or abandons them.

They scream out for attention and help by wearing their pants hanging down and showing their underwear. They scream for help through their repeated arrests and gang fights. Our young men desperately need strong men who can provide guidance, accountability and encouragement when everyone else leaves or abandons them.

Mentors must answer the call to mentorship before those who need to be mentored die. Mentors are needed immediately before another young man becomes a teenage father. Mentors are needed today before another African American young man drops out of school in middle school.

Will you answer the call to mentorship? Can you sacrifice some of your precious time to spend with a young man who has no one? Does the demise of our community concern you my brother? If it does, then go! Go to the schools and mentor. Go! Go to the church house and mentor. Go! Go to your own nephews and their friends and mentor them to become strong and positive men. Male mentors are needed today.
