Goal:

The goal of Young Lions is to teach boys what it means to be men spiritually, culturally, and physically and to infuse the boys with a strong self-image and with self-esteem with faith based awareness and conviction.

As United Methodist Men, it is not our intention to replace family dynamics, but to enhance the role of Christian men in supporting young men.

Purpose:

• To enhance the relationship between Christian men and young boys in the Church and community.
• To promote leadership skills.
• To help with decision-making skills.
• To help with making the right choices in life.

Philosophy:

The Young Lions curriculum explores and affirms the innate spirituality and moral fiber of African-American culture; it provides positive experiences and dialogue about African-American culture, heritage and traditions.

Age Group:

Boys ages 7 -18
