who we are

Steve Davis, Sr. launched The Making of Men Leadership Program (MOMLP) in January 1999 to address persistent opportunity gaps facing boys and young men of color and to ensure all youth can reach their full potential. In 2015 The Making of Men Leadership Conference was launched, inspired by The Making of Men Leadership Program, to scale and sustain this mission. In late 2016, The Making of Men Breakfast was started to reach out to men in the community to help build capacity for leadership coaching, to support the boys in the program, and to provide an outlet and safe space for men to gather to sharpen each other.  As a program of Believe, Inc., MOMLP focuses on building safe and supportive communities for boys and young men of color where they feel valued and have clear pathways to opportunity.
