Children and adolescents are in a very important developmental phase in their lives. Decisions made during this influential period can have a major impact on their future. The Fox84 Initiative For Boys is a nonprofit organization in Marion, South Carolina, dedicated to providing mentoring programs for at-risk youths.

Research proves that mentoring relationships have a positive effect on young people, yet 1 in 3 adolescents do not have access to a mentor. This means approximately 16 million youths, including nine million at-risk youths, reach the age of 19 without ever having a mentor. Through our programs, we hope to change this statistic and inspire young men to make better decisions, so they have a brighter future and don't turn to crime.

We aim to integrate mentoring as a holistic approach to driving achievement. Mentoring builds personal relationships and is a powerful way to enhance the lives of all types of young people. We are passionate about making a profound difference in the lives of our youth and hope that by improving their chances in life, we also strengthen our community, economy, and country.
