Non-profit organization Stronger Than My Father has been making a difference in the lives of young boys since 2013, focusing on those who lack a positive male influence. With staggering statistics showing the impact of fatherless homes on youth, the organization’s Stronger Sons Mentoring Program offers valuable experiences and guidance. Mentors like Harold Simpson, Christian Debay, Eric Burchett, Bob Lyons, and Dustin Mohammed engage the boys in service projects and life skills activities. Jena Potter, recognized by Franklin Tomorrow for her work with the organization, highlights the impact of their programs in Williamson County.
Founder Marcus Meneese emphasizes the importance of addressing the cycle of poverty and suffering caused by fatherlessness, particularly in minority communities. Through after-school care, summer camps, and literacy programs, Stronger Than My Father aims to provide holistic support for young boys. Meneese’s personal experiences and educational background in psychology and leadership inform his approach to mentoring and empowering these boys.
The organization’s outreach extends to schools, community service initiatives, and partnerships with other organizations to expand opportunities for the boys. Meneese’s podcast and personal involvement in schools demonstrate his commitment to serving as a father figure and role model. With a focus on building relationships and providing resources, Stronger Than My Father continues to grow its programs and impact more young lives in need of guidance and support.
