MAN  VILLAGE

For 3 years, under the facilitation of clinician William Michael Barbee, the M A N V I L L A G E Men’s Support Group has hosted bi-weekly open men’s group sessions. There, we focused on providing men with safe spaces to emote and express their vulnerabilities without fear of judgment,  While finding support, trust, protection, new bonds, approaches, and techniques for addressing everyday dilemmas amongst their peers, the M A N    V I L L A G E membership has grown from 15 men to now 177 men ranging from ages 16 - 80 years of age.

​

While we may have been doing the bi-weekly work, your support has not gone unnoticed. Behind the scenes, countless and nameless women have provided us with a great deal of support and encouragement. When asked how they can directly support the V I L L A G E, I quickly responded, “S P O N S O R   A   B R O T H E R.” With that charge to sponsor a brother, group member Keith Sheppard and I have been diligently working at organizing this BIG EVENT. So, here’s how you can help. We are asking for a suggested minimum donation of $85 to help pay for the bus, feed the brothers with a light snack on the way down, and provide a M A N V I L L A G E gift for these brothers. Your contributions will aid a

B R O T H E R fulfill this most worthy pilgrimage to learn of the history of AMERICA through the contributions of enslaved AFRICANS, who have since thrived and have become very successful in many areas of life. The key is, you do not have to know the person you’re sponsoring. The goal is for you to support this good cause. The talking stops here. ARE YOU READY to SPONSOR 1, 2, or 3 brothers??
