About

Better Man Than Me is a non-profit organization with the sole focus of impacting the world by providing young men with the tools and information they need to succeed.

Our Why

There is a crisis among young men. Statistics show that young men are more likely to commit crimes, more likely to be incarcerated, and less likely to enroll in college. The Better Man Than Me Foundation intends to change these statistics by providing resources. We believe that when young men have access to scholarships, mentoring programs, and job referrals it will result in better men which will result in better communities. Please consider donating to support these efforts.

OUR MISSION

Our mission is to promote success and responsible stewardship among men with emphasis on empowerment and mature guidance for young men between 12 and up. We hope to foster growth and build meaningful relationships. By providing financial assistance, advisory services, and resource planning we are helping to give these young men a strong foundation to have a fruitful life. If we want to change the future we must start by giving our youth the opportunity to be better than we are.

E-Mentoring

We have assembled a team of highly skilled and motivated individuals solely focused on the assistance and advancement of young men.
