Empowering Men to Achieve Their Potential

Phase 1: Mental Toughness Week

To apply for the program, participants must complete a week of physical and mental conditioning we call “Mental Toughness Week.” Men are put to the test with a series of challenges that will push them outside of their comfort zones and test their character under pressure.

If a man makes it through this week and an interview process, we know he has what it takes to complete the program and make a better future for himself.

Phase 2: 40-Day Challenge

Men in the program are removed from their toxic environments and live together in dorm-style housing. They share the responsibility of doing chores and cooking dinner, and follow a strict schedule. It’s a safe environment for learning and practicing community and self-discipline.

During the 40-Day Challenge, men spend five or more hours in the classroom each day, where they participate in financial literacy, work readiness and construction skills training classes, as well as Bible study. The men visit multiple job sites, and earn three construction-industry certifications

Every weekend during the 40-Day Challenge, men participate in a service project or adventure outing to give back to the community and challenge themselves.

Phase 3: Get to Work

Equipped with the right job skills, our men are usually employed full-time after just eight weeks in the program.

With a steady paycheck and a new mindset, the men work toward buying a car with cash and saving an emergency fund. The process gives them the confidence to clearly see the path to standing on their own two feet.
