Young men today encounter a distinct set of challenges. Globally, they face significantly higher rates of suicide, homelessness, ADHD, school dropouts, unemployment, incarceration, delayed independence, and early mortality. However, no one has been able to provide a definitive explanation for why young men are experiencing this crisis or how to address it.

ALERT exists, in part, to address some of these issues men face. We believe the solutions to the problems men face are found, first of all, in the Gospel’s transforming power. Futher, we believe that discipline strengthens a man, hardship matures a man, camaraderie sharpens a man, training equips a man, and service focuses a man. Each aspect of our ethos targets the challenges facing young men today, giving them something drastically different than what social media influencers and video games offer them.

Please pray for us as we seek to make a difference in the lives of the men we train.
