I was once a young man in desperate need of guidance. Without it, I ended up dealing with mental health issues, addiction, and even some time in prison. I've been sober for over a decade, have a good job, a young family, and would now like to give back in some way to young men who need it.

I was reading about the struggles young men are facing today, with both male loneliness and radicalization that they are facing at every turn, and realized that truthfully I would not have made it had I grown up in this time period.

Is Big Brothers of America something that's still active? Are there other similar programs in Dallas that would be better? I was (and still plan to) do a Google, but wanted to hopefully get some first hand perspectives from anyone who may be familiar with these programs or has participated themselves.

Any help would be appreciated!
