About the ManKind Project
We are a passionate and purpose-driven brotherhood building and supporting the emotionally mature, accountable, and compassionate male role models that our communities so desperately need.
- 501(c)(3) nonprofit, part of a network of nonprofits in 14 global regions
- Non-religious: Men of all faiths and no faith are welcome. The ManKind Project is not affiliated with any religious practice.
- Inclusive: Men of all backgrounds, orientations, ages, and abilities are welcome. We strive to be increasingly inclusive and affirming of cultural differences, especially with respect to color, class, sexual orientation, faith, age, ability, ethnicity, and nationality.
OUR MISSION
To create a world where men act on their individual and collective responsibility for the future of humanity by initiating and supporting men on a path of emotional maturity, spiritual awareness, and deepening community.
Our vision
Our vision is a safe world where all men are brothers, in relationship with one another.
A world where conflicts are resolved peacefully; where torture, genocide, domestic violence and senseless war are only entries in history books.
Where men are fully accountable and take responsibility for their decisions.
Where men stand tall and proud to be men, secure in their role and deeply committed to nurturing one another, their families, their communities and their planet.
