Because men’s mental health matters …
We help men through any transition, men at all levels of success, men facing almost any challenge. Our flagship training is described by many as the most powerful men’s training available: The New Warrior Training Adventure. MKP’s programs and groups are frequently recommended by licensed mental health professionals as a successful peer-support intervention or adjunct to traditional therapy. (see recent articles in the New York Times, the Independent, NPR, or Broadly by Vice, or watch a 4 minute segment about the ManKind Project on ‘Follow This’ by Buzzfeed Media). What we do is important.
The most widely recognized and respected modern initiation experience for men in the world. With nearly 40 years of life-changing breakthroughs, more than 75,000 men have attended this intense 48-hour experience.

How you can help
Membership is the key to our future…
By supporting the ManKind Project USA and ManKind Project New England, you are building a community for conscious men: providing space for healing, accountability, emotion, and vision, and supporting the creation of a safer and more equitable society for all people. The ManKind Project is supported by men and women who are dedicated to creating a more vibrant and beautiful world for all.
50% Of your contribution goes to building our local communities in New England if you click “New England” under the Area you wish to support. . The other 50% goes towards paying for the support services we need with MKP USA.
Here in New England we use what we call C.C.P. (Co-Creative Contribution Process). We tally up the cost of each event and divide it by the number of men participating. That cost per man becomes the “ask”. We ask that each man pay what he can based on the value he has received with his participation. Some men will give more and some men will give less. We ask that you give enough to not feel shame but not give so much that you feel resentment. This method has been our source of funding for 20+ years. With rising costs the “Ask” has become too large for us to sustain this model. Your contributions will help us keep the “ask” low enough for this model to continue working.
The financial cost of our events…
Contributions made through Membership will directly offset the cost of our events and services.
Who it takes
Who it takes to hold our events…
A momentous moment for all of us was when we were able to hire a professional staff to handle the day to day overall Support Services that are needed to ensure we maintain compliance and in integrity with our mission. These are the only 7 paid employees within our organization.
MKPUSA Employees
On top of the regular volunteers, every event has a team of trained volunteers, many of whom pay to staff events to help offset costs for the new men attending. One NWTA alone requires 30+ men to staff and 5+ men to serve food.
