Healing Our Black Men.
Saving Our Communities.

Creating a safe space for Black teens, adults, and fathers to re-imagine the possibilities through social justice and prevention advocacy that builds resilience while empowering them to be transformative members of society. 

Welcome to Project LIFT:

Project LIFT promotes equality & economic growth by championing the upliftment of Black men, providing them with behavioral health & prevention services, resources, training, workshops and tools to help them thrive.

Get LIFTED!

At Project LIFT, leveling the playing field for at-risk youth, particularly young Black men, is our primary focus. By exposing them to skills, strategies and disciplined principles, we’ll help them create a solid foundation for emotional and financial wellness. As they begin to embark on a commitment to personal growth, they will learn how to tap into their ingenuity, uncover their fortitude and celebrate their triumphs, big and small.

Getting LIFTED means you’ll:

Programs

Your life, your voice and your mental health matter! At Project LIFT, we’ve created programs that will nourish, enrich and cultivate who you desire to be while introducing you to the person you didn’t realize you could be.​

LIFTED MEN FATHERHOOD PROGRAM

Our Lifted Men Fatherhood program helps new and seasoned fathers with barriers develop practical parenting skills to successfully reintegrate into their child’s life while establishing a healthy and mutual co-parenting agreement. During our 13-week curriculum, we’ll address financial instability, communication issues, and negative thought patterns to give participants the opportunity to have a meaningful presence in their children's lives.

LIFE SKILLS X GOLF PROGRAM

Our Teen Life Skills program helps young men end cycles of poverty, substance abuse, limiting beliefs and unresolved traumas. The objective of this program is to help them build self-confidence & become self-aware; learn how to interact with authority figures such as parents, school officials and the police and improve decision-making, communication and social skills through enriching activities.

COUNSELING & SUPPORT SERVICES

Becoming the happiest, healthiest version of ourselves is continuous work. At Project LIFT, we’re helping you “do the work” with various counseling and support services to fit your needs. For decades, the stigma surrounding counseling has left many undiagnosed, unheard and unhealed. Together, we can work to ensure that you feel seen, heard and healed!

Even Kings Feel

Even Kings Feel is an initiative focused on supporting the mental health of Black men by providing safe spaces for emotional expression and healing. Addressing the stigma around mental health, systemic challenges, and offering vital support, this initiative works to save lives and foster resilience. Don’t let the weight of systemic challenges keep you from raising your head high.

Become The Man You’re Meant To Be

Our programs and events are created with one thing in mind, getting young men and fathers what they need to thrive. Learn how to use the life skills you already have to make your life feel more rich and less stressful. Learn how to:

Suicide Awareness

Raising Awareness and Providing Support

Suicide rates within the Black community, especially among teens and men, are rising at alarming levels. Many mental health struggles go unnoticed due to stigma, systemic challenges, and a lack of awareness. Our Suicide Awareness efforts aim to educate individuals and communities on the risks, warning signs, and available support for those who may be struggling.

By increasing understanding through education, we can help break the silence and encourage more open conversations about mental health. It’s essential for families, friends, and communities to be informed and ready to take action. Together, we can make a difference and ensure that no one feels they have to face their struggles alone.
