We are so grateful for your support!

“Participating in Young Man With A Plan has given me a place where I feel like I can communicate with men who really care about my future, I didn’t really have that at home. I now understand what it means to be a man and what it means to get your life in order.”

Young Man with a Plan (YMWAP) helps over 250 young Black and Latino men “in the middle” find a place to belong, make academic and social emotional gains, and access sustainable futures. We achieve this through research-informed strategies of connecting youth to caring adults; strengthening youth academic, social emotional, and financial literacy skills; individualized success planning; quality partnerships; and creating a protective community.

Through a powerful combination of weekly after school groups & in-school mentoring, YMWAP's 5+ year holistic mentoring program delivers deep support for young men from 8 Boston schools in grades 8-12, and beyond.
