DRIVEN TO CHANGE: JOIN THE FIGHT AGAINST FATHERLESSNESS
Fatherlessness is one of the greatest crises of our time. The United States leads the world in fatherless families, leaving millions of children without the guidance, love, and security they need to thrive. At Man Up, we refuse to stand by and watch this epidemic continue. Our mission is clear: to engage, equip, and empower men to step up as fathers, coaches, and role models for the next generation.
We call these men Patros—the Greek word for father—because that’s what they are to the children who need them. Whether biological, adoptive, or spiritual, a Patros is a man who leads, loves, and sacrifices for the next generation.
Real Men. Real Impact.
Each year, we see the transformational power of coaching at work:
Men like Aaron, who was on the brink of losing his children to the child welfare system. Through the Patros Fatherhood Engagement Program, he found the biblical discipleship, accountability, and tools he needed to become the father his kids deserved.
Men like Cameron, who took action after studying Patros at his local church. He saw the need and didn’t hesitate—he stepped in to serve a foster family, bringing them the support and encouragement they desperately needed.
Men like Geofrey and Eliazar, leaders in Uganda, coach men through Phase 2 of AMP (Man Up’s Authentic Masculinity Program). The program teaches biblical leadership, financial stewardship, and income-generating skills. Geofrey challenged his group to prioritize personal devotion, family, work, and service, while Eliazar encouraged his cohort to recognize the resources God has already provided and shift their perspective on opportunities.
Yet, the crisis of fatherlessness is far from over.
For every Aaron who finds hope, countless others still feel lost. For every Cameron who steps up, thousands more hesitate, unsure of where to begin. For every Geofrey and Eliazar training men to lead their families, there are entire communities still waiting for help.
The time for action is now. We cannot allow another generation to grow up without strong, Godly men to guide them.
