Programs and results
What we aim to solve
The Mankind Project aims to support men in their growth around accountability, integrity, and emotional intelligence. Men are supported in living in their individual mission to create a better world for themselves, their families and their communities. Having men that are willing to take responsibility for their actions and the impact those actions have on others is a vital step in men's growth and the over all betterment of mankind as a whole.

Circles of Men
We have been building a network of peer-facilitated men’s support groups for over 30 years. Close to 10,000 men sit in our peer-facilitated circles every week. We call our men’s groups Integration Groups (I-Groups) – they are places where men integrate new skills, new experiences, and new perspectives on their lives.

Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
A Mankind Project support group in every major city with over 1 million people by 2020.\r\n\r\nTo expand our support of existing circles of men by providing training in facilitation, group processes and outreach.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
The ManKind Project USA has unified all of our previously existing centers(individual 501c3's) in the USA to one 501c3. This lowers our operating costs while pulling our resources to support the organization as a whole as well as having communications channels to share best practices with each other. \n\nIn 2014 The ManKind Project USA started membership campaigns where individual men can donate a monthly or yearly amount to help support the organization as a whole. These membership donations have increased every year since we started.\n\nThe ManKind Project USA has created a small team of employees at the national level to support the local communities and areas around the USA in achieving their goals. This ensures a professional full time team of employees are available to support the 1000's of ManKind Project Volunteers \n\nThe ManKind Project USA in partnership with the University of Northern Colorado’s Social Research Lab is currently conducting a research project to track the impact our trainings have on men's lives and their personal growth.
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
The ManKind Project USA has 10 full time employees supporting our 24 areas in the USA.\n\nIn 2018 1,770 new men attended the New Warrior Training Adventure, our vanguard training for men. This was a 10% increase over the previous year. Currently, as of July 2019, we are on track to surpass our goal of 1850 men. \n\nThe Mankind Project USA has more than 50,000 participants that have attended our New Warrior Training A

Together The ManKind Project USA and the All Nations Training Center on the Pine Ridge Reservation are creating a safer world by helping men heal and grow.\n\nIn 2014, The ManKind Project USA, started supporting a new developing region in Mexico. Mankind Project Mexico held their first New Warrior Training Adventure in 2015 and in 2019 will hold 3 trainings, one of them specifically to support GBTQ men. Men from the USA and Mexico are currently supporting men from Argentina in having a New Warrior Training in Argentina in 2020 and growing The ManKind Project in South America.\n\nThe ManKind Project USA started supporting the growth of Mankind Project Israel in 2016.
