A Call To Empower Our Kids

In the early 1960’s, approximately 5% of all children were born into homes with absent fathers. By 2004, that number had grown to 25%. Today, one in four children in America grow up without a father in the home. That statistic translates to more than 25 million children in the U.S.

The cost of fatherlessness.

Study after study shows that kids without a positive role model are more likely to engage in antisocial behavior.

Mentoring: One Solution.

In a Landmark study on mentoring, 1,000 kids were taken from a mentoring program waiting list to be studied. Five hundred of the kids were matched with a mentor, and 500 were not. In just 18 months, kids matched with a mentor were 46% less likely to begin using illegal drugs, 33% less likely to engage in violence, 53% less likely to skip school, and 27% less likely to begin using alcohol.
