Our friends at Mentoring Our Boys features a blog post article about Hope for Youth Alliance.

Check out their website here at Mentoring Our Boys.com They have to offer a few resources and books that we will soon be able to purchase from our site.

Get Involved:
There are many ways to become involved, young men in our communities and churches are in desperate need of male role model worth following. If your local church does not offer opportunities for relational mentoring of the next generation of fathers, please contact us here , we have a waiting list of boys who are waiting to be mentored by someone who would dare to join them on their journey, or search this directory to become involved in your city or state.

The state of fatherless boys in our churches:
At a mothers day church service, I observed over 90% of mothers had their children present with them at  their church, the fathers where no where to be found.

+If you can not volunteer to mentor , you could possibly give a donation to help us further our work in Northern New Mexico.

Young men need direction that comes from a man…maybe you are the one.

This is our second postcard and will be used to recruit men to join our mentoring alliance. Please feel free to down load it and distribute it for Hope for Youth Alliance. We are always in need of men who will mentor young men. 9o% of young men who come to us asking for mentors are absent from their fathers.

Fatherless young boys need a male-model they can learn from, maybe you can be the one.

Mark 3:13-19
13Jesus went up on a mountainside and called to him those he wanted, and they came to him. 14He appointed twelve—designating them apostles[b]—that they might be with him and that he might send them out to preach 15and to have authority to drive out demons. 16These are the twelve he appointed: Simon (to whom he gave the name Peter 17 James son of Zebedee and his brother John (to them he gave the name Boanerges, which means Sons of Thunder); 18Andrew, Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew, Thomas, James son of Alphaeus, Thaddaeus, Simon the Zealot 19and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed him.
