ManKind Project

The ManKind Project in Davis

The ManKind Project® (MKP) has two Davis groups (called IGroups; short for Integration Groups).

The ManKind Project supports a global network of over 1,000 peer-facilitated men's groups serving close to 10,000 men each week. In an MKP men's group, men mentor men through the passages of their lives. The ManKind Project empowers men to missions of service, supporting men to make a difference in the lives of others - men, women, and children around the world. We help men through any transition, men at all levels of success, men facing almost any challenge. Our flagship training, described by many as the most powerful men's training available, is the New Warrior Training Adventure. The ManKind Project (MKP) is not affiliated with any religious practice or political party. We strive to be increasingly inclusive and affirming of cultural differences, especially with respect to color, class, sexual orientation, faith, age, ability, ethnicity, and nationality.

A statement from someone affiliated with the groups: "We don't need to sit around and tell each other 'We're fine the way we are.' Nor do we need to beat ourselves up for our real and imagined shortcomings. What men's work asks us to do is tell our real stories. It asks us to be honest about the source of the pressures and anxieties so many of us feel and too few of us articulate. And once we've laid the truth out on the table, men's work invites us to support each other in taking positive action to change our lives and to change the world in which we live. But we can't move directly to the action without first telling each other the truth. And at its core, the goal of all men's work is to help men do just that." Hugo Schwyzer
