“ACM had the trust and confidence of the young people, and they witnessed to them and helped change their lives.”
“Because of the Alliance of Concerned Men, I was able to get a college degree, pursue a career in television, and now I’m an official Real Estate Developer in Washington DC. As a troubled youth in a gang, the Alliance of Concerned Men’s doors were always opened to help me.”
“Congrats, Alliance of Concerned Men, for the work that you have done!”
