MEN IMPACT CHANGE

“It’s Easier to Build a Boy than Repair a Broken Man.”

Who We Are

Men Impact Change (M.I.C.) is a multicultural 501(c)(3) founded in 2014, dedicated to transforming the lives of boys and men through education, honor, and connection to professional networks. We empower underrepresented boys by providing entrepreneurship training, leadership development, and mentorship, breaking cycles of fatherlessness and promoting positive masculinity to create future leaders in their communities.

Our Vision

To create a future where every minority boy and man is empowered to lead, innovate, and thrive through access to education, mentorship, and professional networks—building a legacy of leadership, positive masculinity, and lasting community impact.
In the middle of the global pandemic in 2020, we transitioned our programs online, designed the Design Thinking and Entrepreneurship program and hosted multiple virtual workshops. We offer 6-months internships to young men to help build their skills.

Our Successes

Impacted 1,000 young men through leadership and entrepreneurship workshops. Honored 120 Men of Impact, most of whom come back as M.I.C ambassadors to pass on the baton by: Coaching the younger generation as well as the incoming honorees. They come back as speakers, while some serve as board members/ advisory committee members. We host annual honor ceremonies, attracting a diverse audience of over 300. We have partnered with dynamic leaders like the late congressman Elijah E Cummings, former African Union ambassador, Dr. Arikana Chihombori-Quao, former CNN commentator Roland Martin, African legend Prof. Ngugi Wa Thiong’o, just to name a few.
