An estimated 8.5 million youth (about 20%) do not have caring adults in their lives, putting them at serious risk. Men In Training aims to partner caring adults with hurting children in an effort to prevent academic failure, criminal activity, drug abuse and other serious risk behaviors. Research finds that resilient youth-those who successfully transition from risk-filled backgrounds to the adult world of work and good citizenship-are consistency distinguished by the presence of a caring adult in their lives.
