  • About Us

    Mission: To enhance the lives of young men through the cultivation of their individual identities and aspirations.

    Students participating in our program will focus on discovering their potential and creating a positive change in our community. Students will accomplish this in a three step process:

    • Create a Post High School Action Plan by working closely with mentors enabling students to further their potential
    • Explore issues around masculinity (i.e. attitudes towards women, peers, and their community)
    • Developing leadership skills through the design and implementation of a service project.

    In order to successfully meet the needs of the students our program the mentors of MCSC have committed to the following:

    • To help inner-city youth discover the power of service and how it can become a vehicle for peace building in their lives.
    • Provide a safe environment for young men to gain a better understanding of their own identity.
    • Demonstrate the positive qualities of masculinity and help students move past social stereotypes.
    • Help prepare young men from the inner-city for the financial and cultural challenges they will face in higher education.
    • Contribute the self-efficacy of students by helping them to create their own service project in order to better their surroundings.
    • Above all promote intelligence, compassion, strength, respect and hard work.

    A crisis calls for action. With violence on the rise and an overburdened school system the young men of South Seattle are currently in a state of crisis. MCSC is a direct response to the crisis facing our young men and our goal is to help young men find a better path.
