Testimonials

My Son is College-Bound

"Before joining the 13th Man, my son didn’t think college was for him. But after meeting the mentors and seeing what’s possible, he’s now excited about his future. He was recently accepted to his top two college choices! The 13th Man has completely changed how he sees himself and his potential." 

 

Grade Turnaround

"My son was really struggling in math and had pretty much given up. After just three months of attending the 13th Man’s free tutoring sessions, he’s now thrilled with his B average—something he never thought he could achieve. He’s even started helping his younger brother with math! Thank you, 13th Man, for offering this amazing support, and did I mention it’s completely free?"

 

Found a Community Where He Thrives

"Before the 13th Man, my son had a small circle of friends and mostly kept to himself. After his first event, he came home so excited to have found a community where he truly belongs. He’s become more confident and outgoing, and the brotherhood he’s built here is real. Thank you, 13th Man, for helping my son find his place and come out of his shell."
