BROTHERS KEEPERS HARRISBURG (BKH)
The mission of Brothers Keepers Harrisburg (BKH) is to address and meet the ongoing spiritual, social, emotional, practical, and developmental needs of single parent boys whose fathers are absent for any reason by introducing these young men to meaningful dialogue, challenging opportunities and experiences that will expand their thinking and generate a healthy sense of self that comes through excellent mentoring relationships, goal achievement, individual growth, public awareness and recognition.
BKH envisions a community in which every youth experiences nurturing one-to-one relationships and community support, which in turn allows each of them to develop into their full potential, capable of making informed, responsible decisions as involved members of our community.

MEN’S BREAKFAST
The mission of the Men’s Breakfast is to provide a unique opportunity for men in the Harrisburg region to receive faith-based training and discipleship taught by well-known leaders throughout the area. We believe if we can reach the men in our community and provide positive resources for them to affect a change in their lives, this change will impact the community exponentially. To do this, the Men’s Breakfast Committee organizes a series of breakfasts throughout the year where we bring in nationally, and at times, internationally known speakers to inspire, motivate and train our men to live a more positive lifestyle.
