Minority Athletes Networking etc.

Description

Founded in 1989 by former athletes of the New York Football Giants, MAN is a 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization created to positively influence the lives of disadvantaged youth in New Jersey, New York and Connecticut urban communities. MAN achieves this goal through various methods:

· Stressing the importance of education and providing remedial educational assistance
· Providing scholarship assistance
· Developing mentoring strategies and programs
· Developing partnerships with community leaders and corporations that believe in MAN's mission and are willing to offer resources and financial support

MAN annually serves approximately 5,000 children and teens through educational outreach programs and a range of annual social events and activities. These programs and activities build self-reliance and foster personal, educational and professional achievement. These events are thus essential for young community residents who seek to improve their own lives and the lives of their families.
