The mission of FITD is to empower young and adult males with the skills to improve life outcomes. This will ultimately make better sons, brothers, and fathers. We empower young men through mentoring. The Friday Is Tie Day teen movement is geared towards young men in grades 8-12. So much of popular culture teaches our young people to be rude, arrogant, and disrespectful. It is our intention to "buck the culture" and start something new (or revive something old). We encourage teens in any school to start wearing ties to school on Friday. For one day a week, they will make a deliberate effort to not only dress like gentlemen but to also act like gentlemen. We anticipate that these trend-setting young men will have a positive impact on the entire school environment.

We empower adult males through our responsible fatherhood initiative. We meet once a month with dads for breakfast and we use a proven curriculum called All Pro Dad. All Pro Dad is an initiative by Family First. This innovative and unique program is for every father. We strive to help fathers become passionate about their role in their family’s life. We strive daily to provide them with every resource needed to rightly train their children and give them a hopeful future.
