Man Up
Life Skills for Young Men
Man Up is a program designed to transform 8th grade boys into 10th grade men through the process of 9th grade. Participants experience mind, body, and Spirit training through 26 weeks of fun, interactive workshops.
Content revolves around relationships and personal growth. Each week the young men eat together, socialize, and catch up. They then learn a specific life skill and hear a Christ-centered message about personal growth and maturity. The desire is to see young men become believers in Christ and grow lasting relationships with their peers and mentors.
The 26 volumes address six categories: (1) Power Tools (Volumes 1-6), (2) Automotive (Volumes 7-11), (3) Cotillion (Volumes 12-16), (4) Outdoor Skills (Volumes 17-22), (5) Vocation & Education (Volumes 23-25), and (6) Celebration (Volume 26).
