how it works
Sports and after school recreation bring youth to our eight centers.
The result is 800 kids in our eight centers every day experiencing the gospel
Healthy relationships naturally occur as these kids join more activities led by MAM staff.
The result is 400 kids each day are part of our Activity Groups, including team play and holistic programming.
Activity groups lead to boys and girls joining small mentoring groups where they are more engaged in our life-changing programs.
The result is 250 kids in a
Youth Leadership Group
with a coach/mentor
in their lives.
