Alpha Torchbearers

A trusted mentor for every young man.

Nationally, college enrollment among young men has dropped sharply, and about one in three young people has never had a steady adult mentor. Alpha men are already in your community, already trained and already organized to change that.

How it works

First Saturday

Your local chapter hosts an in-person community project, such as a career day, an oratorical competition or a campus visit.

Third Saturday, September through May

Every mentee joins a district-wide virtual mentorship session.

The rhythm is simple and sustainable, so it never competes with the school calendar. Every Ambassador is background-checked (Livescan certified) and trained on the program's structure and expectations before working with any student.

Who it is for

Young men who do not yet have a consistent adult mentor in their life.

Not only students who are struggling, and not only students with free time. A student's activity level, GPA or busy schedule never disqualifies anyone. The only requirement is a willingness to take part and a desire to connect with a path toward higher education, a trade or entrepreneurship.
