Who are We?

MODMAN has been operating for over a decade—first abroad, now at home.

We began by working with boys in underserved communities abroad, teaching principles of responsibility, discipline, and practical skill. Today, we’ve evolved into a domestic nonprofit dedicated to mentoring the next generation of artisans in concrete coatings, themed finishes, and emerging craft-based technologies.

Why We Exist

Too many young men are growing up without mentorship, skill, or direction. MODMAN exists to change that—by combining hands-on craft training with character development.

When young men are taught to work with purpose, held to high standards, and surrounded by men who care, they develop confidence, pride, and the drive to contribute to something bigger than themselves.
