Philosophy & About

The Modern Man Family Project Society is a local community resource for men and fathers of

any life and parental situation. Founded on the principles of lived experience, grassroots principles, and

peer-driven programming, we understand the unique challenges men and fathers face in today's day and

age.

The Modern Man Family Project Society believes in the intrinsic value that men and fathers bring

to their children, families, and communities through their various roles. Our goal is to help men and

fathers become the best version of themselves through our various services outlined below.

“We believe that healthy, skilled, men and fathers of any life and parental situation play a critical

part in enriching our children, spouses, co-parents, and communities.”
