Men
of Scars
Men of Scars was founded by Hardie Blake, a pastor,
community activist and entrepreneur in the community for over 30 years.
Out of a desire to help men with "pasts" that
sometimes hinders their future, he began the outreach to men &
boys with scarred pasts.
As a role model and mentor, Pastor Blake works
tirelessly assisting men with such issues as employment, job training,
empowerment
training, personal counseling, court issues and
support in setting and accomplishing goals.
Men of Scars presently has one Street Outreach
Worker, Shane Peters, who serves as a mentor as well as a facilitator
in various
empowerment training sessions.
The Men of Scars Outreach approach to transforming
the lives of men whose past or present life has been scarred by anger,
drugs, crime,
violence, incarceration, gangs, felony convictions,
delinquent child support, abandonment, school dropout and minimum
spiritual and social
skills is a work in process. Through effective
training and caring guidance and help, the lives of boys & men
can be transformed and given
opportunity to help transform the lives of other
men. "Success is for those who want it
and take action to get it."
