Men Mentoring Men and Boys affectionately know as “3MB”

Is an organization which provides male youth and Men with a sense of brotherhood in the efforts to prevent them from spiraling to negative activities such as gang involvement, alcohol, drugs, premarital sex, and various peer pressures by exposing them to a higher power and with weekly discussion groups, bible study, community service, and recreational activities.. Mentors and members desire to make a difference in each member’s life by assisting each other in managing problems and reinforcing positive values, giving them the opportunity to adopt those positive values and apply them to their lives so that they can become productive males in the community

3MB History

Mission

To teach and educate male youth and men to make wise decisions and good choices by providing them with mentors, leaders, training, and support through hands-on learning experiences, spiritual education, group discussion, life skills training, social skills, and recreational activities.

Why 3MB Started

3MB began as a result of various men in The Couples Club

expressing the fact that they were never taught how to be a good husband and how to treat a wife. Just one month before at another outing of The Couples Club, there were men who did not know how to tie a necktie or how to hem their pants. Seeing and hearing these things, disturbed, founder, Min. Marvin Smith. He realized that things that he, growing up with a father and three older brothers, took for granted, these and many other young men knew nothing about. In addition to his father and three older brothers, Min. Smith had strong older men (his father-in-law, pastor, uncles, coaches, and surrogate family) who mentored him and taught him things like how to make household repairs and car repairs and much more.

Marvin Smith felt that it was important to share what others had shared

with him with current and future generations. Marvin Smith called a meeting together of men associated with The Couples Club and close friends and family and shared his thoughts and visions to form 3MB. He felt that it was important that this group not only reach down to youth and future generations but that they should reach out to each other and encourage older men to continue to reach down and mentor the younger men. The group began with an outing with fathers and sons to a dollar movie and a light meal.

Feeling fulfilled by that experience, Min. Smith and the other men

decided to continue to do the recreational outings but Min. Smith felt led to give some additional educational experiences and spiritual formation which brought about the weekly bible study and the weekly discussion group after basketball.
