What would an ideal Non-Profit for the betterment of men and boys look like?

Might look something like the boy scouts. At least the boy scouts as it used to be.

Honestly a lot of the problem is emotionally distant or abusive fathers. Or completely absent fathers altogether.

Wild at Heart ministries and Zoweh ministries does some pretty good work. Not everybody would agree with their approach, but I found it extremely helpful to be the best man that I can be.

Easy, to answer, but being realistic. Would be an uproar against it ( all we know from whom ) 🤷‍♂️ to answer your question a "men retreat safe space" would do, were men can get the space and distance from all the problems, being able to have help in form of therapy sessions and law counseling, depending on the location state etc, a support system for those who need or want to change work fields etc. the ideal scenario is the Men would be doing the maintenance, distribution of chores etc. Just having someone genuinely, listening and a place to rebuild yourself would be great. Simple as having some land, putting together some basic facilities running water etc and some beeds.

I believe apna ghar aashram bharatpur is doing a great job at this. It is not exclusive to men or boys but look at their work. They find and rescue mentally challenged homeless destitute people (majority is men) get them medical, food shelter etc and jobs if they are capable. They provide an opportunity to dignity in life to most neglected people. They have orphanage, old-age home and animal shelter too. No discrimination at all. They just help.

Awhile ago someone commented the following.

This post and the date reminded me: anyone reading this might consider making a tax deductible donation to a men’s rights organization like the National Coalition for Men or National Center for Men. I’ve donated to both recently.

I feel like anything that acknowledges men's feelings is a good start - I do not know what your battles are, and I am sorry to answer as a female, but for me it helped to have people understand me, regardless of gender. It helps to know you are not alone, and the question is always - where can you find the intersection of people you want to help? I hope you manage to help people, it seems like you have been let down a lot and I hope that never happens to you again.

It speaks volumes that you do not want anyone else to go through this.

i am currently in a very dark place due to false accusations and being separated from my son and also know that there is zero support cus im going through it, you prob know how i am feeling(or similar). if i ever get out or even come out of all of this alive, i would also like to support other boys/men.

sorry for my ramblings but, it depends on how much funding you have to start with. a lot of people say shelter this, facitility with this and that, etc. etc. but realistically that might not be possible. unless you have a lot of funding. so, my suggestion to you is to start small, but always have core/foundation of how you want to help. for example, for me, my core/foundation are mind and body and/or spirit (sounds cliche know). something related to either to start would be ideal, in my humble opinion. i've read several posts on another reddit about males mental health and from what i could summarize, the common issue is that men are not heard or have anyone to talk to(as is also in my case for example). a simple zoom(or similar platform) group 'therapy' or whatever you want to call it, where men join in and just talk over their issues might be something to consider. my 2 cents

I would say a 3-4 week program that is a getaway for boys and men and teaches lots of practical skills that might be expected of them from women and society. But also skills just to benefit themselves. Like teach them how to change tires, jump cars , low level DIY handyman stuff like changing shower heads, low level common mechanical maintenance, how to change all fluids in cars, how to change leaky pipe under sink. Lots of small things that are practical useful skills. How to cook and how to grill with propane and charcoal. It would really build their confidence in knowing they are capable of doing things for themselves and it also show they are competent and make them more desirable as a romantic partner.

Other classes could be how to assert yourself in a firm but respected way. And how to be a decent partner for romance but also make sure you get what you need. Tesch young men how to find balance between being masculine and but not overbearing.

And I think also a 8 week fitness program would help too helping them learn how to get in shape and eat right.

Men's shed is good, not sure if it's available everywhere though
