Project details

What we need
  • Review of up to 20 pages of copy for grammar, style, tone, and consistency
  • Advice on how to write effective copy going forward
What we have in place
  • We currently have a website, and brochures, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have curriculum's, flyers and grant proposals, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $1,792 , allowing us to take advantage of our savings and use it in other areas of our organization.

This project is important because it helps us to have a more polished publish material. There are many items that we have and we could use some assistance in proofreading our documents

Our mission

Like most large cities, Oakland is facing a crisis of epic proportions. The young males of the community have been neglected as society's castoffs. At a vastly disproportionate rate, they are unemployed/under-employed, living below the poverty level, uneducated, incarcerated and often prisoners within their own neighborhoods, which can resemble warzones. They are overwhelmingly the product of single-mother homes, with little to no guidance and a remarked lack of adult male role models to provide good examples and much needed firm, but caring, discipline. These young men are in desperate need of social and spiritual intervention. There is a void in their lives. If left unattended, it WILL be filled by the streets. Man 2 Man Ministry was created to rescue them from this downward spiral and help fill the void in their lives with positive experiences and hope.

What we do

Man 2 Man - Urban Youth Advocate is a collection of recovery, intervention and educational programs for men that are delivered by men. Man 2 Man - UYA mentors young adult men of all ethnicities between the ages of 10 and 24. The program provides life skills that will help and enhance personal development.
