You don’t need an army, but just a few good men! Dapper & Distinguished Gentlemen along with these other organizations and gentlemen are working to defy the odds!

“The statistics say”, roughly 32% of young men live apart from their biological father.

38–43% lack a male mentor for guidance on school or relationships.

85% of youth in prison grew up in a fatherless home and almost twice as likely to have spent time in jail by age 30.

71% of high school dropouts come from fatherless homes.

85% of children with behavioral disorders.

63% of youth suicides are from fatherless homes.

43% of boys and young men lack an adult male to turn to for advice on relationships.

Mentorship can significantly bridge this gap, with research showing that positive male role models can reduce the likelihood of delinquent behavior by providing the guidance typically offered by a father figure or mentor.
