MEN INSPIRING KIDS EVERYDAY
Men Inspiring Kids Everyday (M.I.K.E) is a non-profit organization that helps kids become exceptional adults in society. The group was founded by Michael A. Brooks (MEd), a class room teacher who has seen a lot of “at-risk” students get confused as to what they would do next in their lives. Motivated to address this issue and empower the youth to rise above the challenges that label them as such, he decided to come up with M.I.K.E., which he felt was the right thing to do.
