Did you know that roughly 20 men are moving to Charleston EVERY day?

It can be hard to know where to start with connecting and making friends. We want to provide a space, both physically and virtually, that allows men to connect with other men, make friends, and walk life together, not alone.

We want a group that offers many opportunities for ANY guy, ANY age, to connect with other men.

How does MEND work?

By guys showing up, hanging out, talking, and doing fun things together, with the hopes of inspiring friendships and connection.

Showing up, consistently, is KEY!

How much does it cost to join?

Nothing. It’s free. There are no membership dues or applications. We strive to keep our activities accessible to everyone.

What do we do?

Connect men. In person, and virtually.

We are currently offering firepit gatherings, men’s breakfasts, fossil hunting outings, and virtual gatherings.

We aim to add more! things like men’s hikes, wilderness survival workshops, camping trips, kayaking, running, exploring/adventuring, fishing…..

WE WANT YOU, AND WE NEED YOUR HELP!

Why was MEND started?

MEND began as a small group meeting regularly at my apartment. I had realized, after attending another men’s group for the first time in my life, that real conversations can happen with men and strong connections can be made, often through the adversities of life. I had previously found myself in a place where I was alone, isolated, and upset. This did not help anyone around me. I want no man to walk through what I did. I want no man to be alone. I want every man to know he is loved, valued, and NOT ALONE!
