The ManKind Project™ is a progressive and non-sectarian, non-partisan alternative to other men's organizations. The Project has two goals. The first is to initiate men into a mature masculinity, to lead lives of integrity, connection to feeling, and a renewed responsibility for their personal mission in the world. Through weekend "training adventures" and continuing on into post-training "integration groups," men are challenged in deeply personal ways to look at who they are and how they make choices and live behaviors which work and don't work for them. The second goal is to be of service to the community. Both as individual men with a reinvigorated sense of compassion and personal responsibility, and as communities of men who share a close-knit bond, The ManKind Project™ has racked up more than 300,000 recorded volunteer hours. The service focus that has particularly emerged is mentoring. The Chicago and San Diego communities have developed programs ("Young Warrior" and "Boys to Men") which mentor boys 12 - 16 in experiential mentorship programs. Men in the Milwaukee community have developed a program based in Kenosha-area schools for mentoring youth of color. Whether it's working with emotionally disturbed boys in Philadelphia or mentoring at-risk youth in Virginia, providing alternatives to incarceration in Houston or counseling for domestic abuse in Washington, D.C., the Project has been making quiet and important contributions to improving the quality of life for families and communities throughout this country and in England and Canada.

The ManKind Project™ (MKP) is a 501(c)(3) organization with
certified organizational centers in 23 different communities in the United States, Canada
and England. Its stated mission is to assist men in "reclaiming the sacred masculine
for our time through initiation, training, and action in the world." Interaction with
the MKP begins with an experiential weekend "training adventure." The weekend is
followed by ongoing, supportive and self-led "integration groups" formed from
the weekend participants which help integrate the men's changes and new choices into their
daily lives. In addition, there are numerous workshops offered throughout the year to
further assist men's development. Since 1985, more than 10,000 men from diverse races,
faiths, nationalities and sexual orientations have completed New Warrior Training
Adventure weekends.
