We help shape a positive mindset of middle school-age boys by empowering them to dream and achieve.
Our
Programs
MOCA’s middle school mentoring program is based on a group mentoring concept, with an anticipated ratio of 1 to 4 mentor/mentees. The program is year- round designed to run through the academic school year, one day per week for 45-55 minutes per session.
Education
Future success depends on having a strong educational foundation. Start the boys off right with your time, money donations, inspiration, and extracurricular activities.
Mentoring
Build strong, trusting relationships between our mentors and mentees, beginning in 6th grade through 8th grade;.
Community
To reach young boys and men of color in their communities, it takes strong male role models. Anything is possible once that community has been established.

Operational Activities Screening
When school is over for the day, not all children have a comfortable environment to come home to. In our after school activity programs we offer a warm place to stay, study, play, eat and relax.

Matching

Training
ButtonSome children have more toys than they know what to do with, while others have few good toys to speak of. We strive to matchmake between toyts and youngsters in need with our yearlong toy exchange program.

Resource development
Bringing up a healthy and happy child is particularly challenging for underprivileged families dealing with children who have special needs. We offer daily assistance to these families, in the form of after-school help and other activities.

Evaluation
Numerous studies have shown that being with animals helps people overcome learning difficulties, emotional challenges and more. Not every family can have a household pet, so our animal center enables children to enjoy the benefit of having a pet without the cost.
