The members of the marginalized groups are in a very vulnerable position to get any chance, provisions or assistance. These barriers include system injustice, which results in social marginalization; system injustice that results in poverty, joblessness, and social isolation. ReEngage Inc. exists to disrupt these cycles, and help the clients and their communities achieve better outcomes. Our work-centric approach is aimed at closing the gap between opportunity and access to deliver tangible positive change where it is needed.

When deprived socially, groups of people get poor education, health care, and poor job prospects that worsen their social and economical status. Discrimination and systemic in-equities add more to these gaps to make it almost impossible for some people to succeed in such settings. And the young people and young men in particular, these youths end up being roleless and resourceless to do away with these types of situations. These are not lost to ReEngage Inc. thus strive to ensure that such inequalities are removed and inclusion provided.

As with most organizations focusing on minority communities, ReEngage is founded on the principle of culturally responsive care. We understand that in relation to addressing structural problems, the ‘one size fits all’ approach doesn’t work. However, our programs are flexible, so they are able to meet the needs of the targeted clientele and populations.

Among our key activities, there is The Man Class, which helps young men acquire essential tools for effective life functioning. This program is very much individualistic; participants are expected to assume responsibility for their lives. It also has an emphasis on life skills like, financial, communication, and decision making that are of great importance in handling the complexities of life. Thus, the program of The Man Class helps participants to establish the basis of personal and professional development taking into account the causes of disconnection.

Employment is another critical area where ReEngage works to bridge the gap for marginalized communities. Unemployment and underemployment are major barriers to economic stability, particularly for those who face systemic discrimination. To combat this, we offer job readiness training, including resume building, mock interviews, and workplace etiquette. Additionally, we partner with local employers to create meaningful employment opportunities for our participants. These efforts not only help individuals achieve financial independence but also contribute to the economic health of their communities.

ReEngage also recognizes the importance of fostering a sense of community and belonging. Many individuals in marginalized communities feel isolated and disconnected from society, which can hinder their ability to thrive. Through community-focused initiatives like the Bancroft Landscaping Project, we create opportunities for participants to contribute to the revitalization of their neighborhoods. These projects not only provide valuable hands-on experience but also instill a sense of pride and ownership in the participants and the broader community.

Our commitment to bridging the gap goes beyond providing resources and opportunities. At ReEngage, we understand that meaningful change requires addressing systemic barriers that perpetuate inequality. That’s why we actively advocate for policies and practices that promote inclusion and equity. By raising awareness about the challenges facing marginalized communities and working with stakeholders to implement solutions, we aim to create a more just and inclusive society.

The impact of our work is evident in the success stories of the individuals we serve. For example, Andrew, a participant in The Man Class, came to ReEngage after years of struggling with unemployment and social isolation. Through our program, he gained the skills and confidence needed to secure a full-time job and become an active member of his community. Today, Andrew mentors other young men, helping them navigate the challenges he once faced. His story is a powerful testament to the transformative power of ReEngage’s work.

ReEngage’s efforts to bridge the gap for marginalized communities have far-reaching implications. By empowering individuals to reach their full potential, we strengthen families, improve communities, and contribute to broader societal progress. Our innovative and holistic approach sets a new standard for addressing the needs of underserved populations, inspiring others to adopt similar models of social change.

Despite the progress we’ve made, the work is far from over. Addressing systemic inequities and fostering inclusion require ongoing effort, collaboration, and innovation. ReEngage is committed to expanding our programs, building partnerships, and advocating for policies that promote equity and access. With the support of our community, we can continue to make a meaningful impact and create lasting change.

There are many ways to get involved in our mission to bridge the gap for marginalized communities.

Social change is often required in order to eliminate injustice as well as make this world a more improved place. However, development entails going beyond mere symptom treatment; every problem here calls for a revolution that addresses its core. At ReEngage Inc., we are unique in our dedication to creating innovative solutions that enable people, communities and systems to transform. Here is a breakdown of how we shape the future and set the pace in leading change processes.

The issues that are experienced by the targeted populations are complex and rooted. Poverty, unemployment, illiteracy and discrimination keep people in a disadvantaged position and are very hard to overcome. These matters are further made worse through lack of role models and mentors, thus making it very difficult for many young men to understand life issues. To this end, ReEngage Inc. was established to squarely meet these challenges and bring in changes that would see youth outside of school, and disadvantaged men turn into responsible citizens.

Our approach to social change is rooted in three key principles: education, empowerment and employment. These principles serve as the basis of our unique approaches to our programs that offer a holistic approach to the needs of an individual while at the same time trying to solve system issues.

It is in school that people are first made to understand that they do not have to be poor and left out of mainstream society. As a company, ReEngage is different from most educational institutions as it targets a development of life skills. Our participants are trained in areas such as budgeting, conflict solving, and communication. These tools help them to establish the subject personal groundwork and be ready for the further job. Of course, initiatives such as The Man Class are used in this process, where participants are given a specific framework within which they can develop and progress.

Another important principle of our practice is the concept of empowerment. To our mind, personal development starts when a person realizes his or her possibilities and takes personal responsibility for his or her life. Our programs are designed to instill confidence, resilience, and a sense of purpose in participants. By fostering personal accountability and self-awareness, we help young men redefine their identities and aspirations. Empowerment also extends to the community level; through projects like the Bancroft Landscaping Project, participants gain hands-on experience that benefits both themselves and their neighborhoods.

Employment is the final piece of the puzzle. Economic stability is crucial for building a secure and fulfilling life, yet many of the individuals we serve face significant barriers to entering the workforce. ReEngage addresses this issue by providing job readiness training, distributing professional attire, and connecting participants with local employers. These efforts not only help individuals achieve financial independence but also contribute to the broader economic health of our communities.

Innovation lies at the heart of everything we do at ReEngage. Unlike traditional approaches to social change, which often focus on isolated interventions, we take a holistic approach that considers the interconnected nature of societal challenges. Our programs are tailored to meet the unique needs of our participants while addressing systemic issues that perpetuate inequality. This dual focus ensures that our impact is both deep and wide-ranging.

Collaboration is another key aspect of our innovative approach. We recognize that creating lasting change requires the collective effort of individuals, organizations, and communities. That’s why we work closely with local businesses, nonprofits, and community leaders to build a robust support network for our participants. These partnerships not only enhance the effectiveness of our programs but also foster a sense of shared responsibility for social change.

The impact of our work can be seen in the stories of the individuals we serve. For instance, Marcus came to ReEngage after years of struggling with unemployment and low self-esteem. Through The Man Class, he gained the skills and confidence needed to secure a stable job and reconnect with his family. Today, Marcus is a role model in his community, mentoring other young men and advocating for positive change. Stories like his are a testament to the power of our innovative approach.

ReEngage’s work extends beyond the immediate impact on individuals and communities. By addressing the root causes of societal challenges, we contribute to broader systemic change. Our success demonstrates the potential of community-driven solutions to tackle complex issues, inspiring others to adopt similar approaches. As we continue to expand our reach, we aim to set a new standard for social change that is inclusive, sustainable, and transformative.

While we are proud of what we’ve achieved so far, we know that the journey is far from over. Creating lasting change requires ongoing effort, adaptability, and innovation. At ReEngage, we remain committed to refining our programs, exploring new ideas, and collaborating with others to drive progress.

You can be a part of this transformative journey. By supporting ReEngage, you contribute to a movement that empowers individuals, strengthens communities, and paves the way for a brighter future. Whether through donations, volunteering, or advocacy, your involvement makes a difference. Together, we can continue to lead the way in creating innovative solutions for social change.

Youth not in education or employment, or NEET, are youth aged between 16 and 24 years who are not in employment, education or training. These young people have very high risks that prevent them from living a normal and productive life. At ReEngage, we are convinced that enabling these people is not only a social need but a necessity for creating better societies. Here’s more information on why reconnecting disconnected youth is important, and how our programs are helping.

Youth not in employment, education or training are a significant proportion of any population. Based on current research, about 4.6 million youth in America are categorized under this group. These individuals are economically vulnerable, they cannot get education or any job and so can never be economically productive members of society. Another problem is social isolation; they have no places to go, no school, no job to attend and they end up feeling out of place. Also, they are more likely to participate in risky behaviors or having mental issues or even encounter the justice system.

In fact, there are various factors that lead to the disconnected youths and they are not limited to. These are the system, family, poor, and no role model. Solving these concerns requires a community approach which is in line with the ReEngage program.

The implication of marginalizing disconnected youth is enormous since everyone and the community as a whole stands to lose. Getting these youths back into school and to work means they have a chance to change the poverty trajectory of their lives, and those of their families. It can also foster families by enabling young men to have the capacity of being responsible fathers thus a positive chain to future generations. Also, reengaging youth betters community welfare by reducing crime rates and revitalizing neighborhoods; economically, it creates a supply of qualified workers and decreases dependency on welfare.

At ReEngage, we address these critical issues through our commitment to transforming young men into responsible leaders. Our programs are designed to provide education, empowerment, and employment opportunities to men in Kansas City and beyond.

The Man Class is our signature program, designed to equip young men with the skills and knowledge they need to succeed as fathers, employees, and community leaders. Participants learn personal accountability, developing a mindset of responsibility and resilience. They also gain essential life skills, including financial literacy and effective communication, which empower them to navigate adulthood. The program prepares participants for sustainable careers through mock interviews, resume building, and direct connections to local employers. Since its inception, The Man Class has trained over 100 men, helping them chart new paths toward success.

ReEngage actively involves participants in community-focused initiatives like the Bancroft Landscaping Project. These efforts provide hands-on experience while fostering a sense of ownership and pride in their neighborhoods. Through the landscaping project, participants developed teamwork skills and contributed to transforming a neglected area into a welcoming space for the community.

Recognizing the importance of first impressions, ReEngage has also distributed over 150 suits to program participants, ensuring they are prepared for job interviews and workplace success. In addition, we partner with local employers to secure meaningful employment opportunities for graduates.

The true measure of our success lies in the stories of the men we’ve supported. Derrick, for example, dropped out of high school and felt trapped in a cycle of hopelessness. Through The Man Class, he gained the confidence and skills needed to secure a full-time job and reconnect with his family. Jamal, once involved in the justice system, found a second chance through ReEngage. Today he not only has a job but also is helping other young men in his society to have the same. These stories are excellent examples of how reengagement can change lives and the whole society for the better.

Even though our programs have progressed considerably, there is still much that needs to be done. To better address the needs of disconnected youth we need more funding to increase the amount of programs that we provide. It also entails developing community linkages with relevant agencies, schools, and employers to ensure the child has support in all aspects of his/her life. Awareness is the other area as it is important to ensure that the society gets to understand their struggles and fight for policies that will address the youths who are out of touch with society. All of them are quite useful and offer a chance to develop and experiment. These obstacles can be surmounted with the help of our community’s on-going support and thus; extend the positive reach.

It is important to understand that reconnecting youth who have dropped out of school is a community process and there are several ways to participate. Supporting our efforts means providing for the necessary programs and tools that we provide to people in need. Your time and effort can help change lives, by acting as a role model for participants or helping out with our endeavours. Supporting our mission by informing your contacts about our work helps spread the word about our cause and gain public support. Organizations and companies can collaborate with ReEngage to offer employment, mentorship, and support to advance our missions.

Getting youth back in school is not charity work; it is the imperative for ending social injustice and poverty. We, at ReEngage, have worked hard to build the foundation on which change can happen, and we are excited to see the improvements we have brought to people’s lives and their neighborhoods. But still there is much work that needs to be done. When you contribute to our mission you assist in giving young men a chance to rise above their circumstances and succeed. Please go to ReEngage.org to gain more information about our programs, testimonies, and how you can support such a crucial ministry.

If you stay in this business long enough you will have your heart broken. It never fails when you think you know someone is going to make it and in your heart you are pulling for them to make it and all of a sudden they regress or they relapse and your heart is torn apart. But then there are those times when you get the opportunity to see someone change right in front of you and it makes up for all the times when your heart gets broken. It reminds me of the delicate balance between the pain of childbirth and the joy of the birth that a woman feels and how that pain is forgotten when she sees the beauty of the baby.

I had the chance this cycle to witness that transformation in one of our participants, who I will refer to as Mr. Otis C. Otis’ background unfortunately is all too common for too many males in our community. He was born to a single mother without knowledge of who his father was and a mother that had to spend too much time away from her kids working. Otis was born and raised in Kansas City and basically was raised by the streets. His male role models were the street hustlers and thugs he met on the streets who taught him to be hard hearted and cold. Otis entered the Man Class© with a lot of anger and a lack of self-esteem. While he was able to graduate from high school, he had no direction and was just wandering through life from one day to the next. This lack of a vision for one’s life is condemning too many in our community to this day to day survival mode which makes progress and movement very difficult.

As the sessions continued you could see day by day the hardness and anger in Otis slowly dissipate and he became more willing to open up and be honest with himself. One of the obstacles to change is an unwillingness that many have to self-honesty and self-reflection. One of the unfortunate consequences of the civil rights movement was this attitude promoted by certain leaders that a person’s behavior was dependent on the behavior of others, so that if others were wrong then I could be wrong until they got right. The problem with this philosophy is that it assumes two wrongs make a right which we all know is a flawed philosophy. If I am not responsible for my actions, but they are dependent on the actions of others then I have no responsibility to change or to improve. The consequences of this flawed thinking are evident throughout our community in the devaluation of education, drug and alcohol abuse, and the epidemic of unmarried births.

By the time graduation arrived Otis was engaged and participating in the sessions and was remarkably lucid and provided thoughtful comments during discussions. Otis is now gainfully employed and expecting his first child. He is more positive about his future and the future of his family. It is gratifying to see a life change because you know that it will have a rippling effect not just on the individual but also on their family and their community.

So, if anyone asks you why does he do it you can just point to Otis and the countless others that ReEngage reaches and help to find within themselves that gift we were all given. I am not so arrogant to believe that three weeks with me will change anyone’s life, but my hope is that we are able to start a spark which the individual will fan and nurture into a flame that ignites our community.

There are a couple of trends going around that caught my attention as I watched the NCAA tournament and saw my bracket busted almost immediately and the NBA, so some of my observations may be due to my somewhat irritated disposition. There are some fashion trends that have invaded the sports arena and by proxy the cities of America, which require some attention. Granted I am nobody’s fashion police, but I think I know a little bit about style. The reason that I am writing about these trends is that it speaks to what is happening with men today. The styles and fashions that have become acceptable for men have me wondering what kind of men are we raising, which speaks directly to what I do for a living.

The first trend that caught my eye about a year ago, but there were only a few guys doing it so I didn’t really give it a second thought. I mean there is no way that men would begin to wear tights again, right? I mean that whole middle ages thing, but that was before pants. Well, the craze has gone through the roof with both professional and college men doing it. Now being an ex-athlete I understand the desire to want to keep your body warm while you are playing, but just because you can do something doesn’t mean you should. The sight of grown men running around in tights is almost making it so I can’t focus. There aren’t many fashion rules for men, but two that immediately come to mind is that real men don’t wear capri pants and tights. With names like “mantyhose” and “meggings” these tights are threatening become a staple of men’s fashion.

I have to admit that one of my main complaints is the same that I had about biker’s shorts; I don’t want to have to walk the streets with some guys bulge in my face. I don’t know how women feel about it, but there’s something un-masculine about it to me. So let’s stop this trend before it goes too far. The idea of men in tights and tutu’s is more than my fragile psyche can take. I mean while men and women are equal, we are not the same and we should embrace and celebrate our differences instead of trying de-genderize each other. And while we are on the subject, those shorts that guys are wearing now that come down to their calves or ankles. Really? Make a decision wear short pants or long pants; it’s really not that hard.

And finally we come to the Swaggy P. For those who are not current on the latest trends there is a basketball player playing for the Lakers named Nick Young, alias Swaggy P. In addition to playing professional basketball for the Lakers he is also dating a pop-star called Iggy Azalea which gives him some cool points with folks who follow that sort of thing. So anyway Swaggy P debuted a new hair style that caused my first reaction to think of Buckwheat of “Our Gang” fame and who Eddie Murphy remade on SNL in the 80”s. It can either be shaved on the side or faded and the top is this nappy mess. I thought there was no way this would catch on, but just to once again demonstrate my lack of appreciation for modern culture it has taken off like a rocket. Almost every black and bi-racial kid in the NCAA tournament was sporting the style. And now it is coming to a neighborhood near you. I have started to see the “nappy” look appear all over the metro.

Ok, so if you are a millionaire or soon to be millionaire athlete, I get that you can be a little indifferent to the styles and behaviors the rest of us have to follow. But if you are some kid with barely a high school diploma you need to get somebody to give you a chance and I have bad news – going in looking like Buckwheat is not going to get it done. This idea that a person can do whatever he likes and the rest of us just have to put up with it is not based in any reality that I am aware of. But it ties into the whole reason I started ReEngage our young men have been given this false impression by their mommas, grand-mommas, and baby mommas that everybody else is wrong and they are right. Well let’s look at how that is working out for them, from my vantage point not so good. They are over-represented in the criminal justice system and under-represented in the educational system, but I know that’s completely due to racism. Not that they haven’t been prepared to fail from birth, but that’s a different post.

So let me tell you how not to get a job. Go into the interview with your pants saggin’, a bunch of tattoos all over you, the Swaggy P, and speaking slang. If you want to be successful and have a good life, please contact ReEngage and put in the work that it takes to be successful. There is no easy way to be successful. You have to put in the work and have a plan. We have come so far and yet it seems like we haven’t traveled anywhere.

I always have bittersweet thoughts whenever I get to graduation day for a new cycle of men from The Man Class. On the one hand we have built a relationship of trust and openness which for many of these guys is a first ever over the past three weeks, but I also know that it is now time for them to set off and put into practice the knowledge and tools that they have received. I am excited for today for these guys as they show up today “suited and booted” and ready to celebrate their efforts before family, mentors, and their communities. I celebrate and honor the work these guys have put forth and look forward to great things from them in the future. Congrats graduates of The Man Class cycle 1 2011!!!!

Thank you Kevin Bryce for the great video!

So, the other night I was watching the Viceland channel – Rivals: The Boom Squad it was the story about an area in South Florida that has produced the most professional football players of anyplace in America. Some of the talent it has produced includes Antonio Brown, DeVonta Freeman, and Teddy Bridgewater to just name a few. As I watching this show I couldn’t help but think what if we as people would focus that amount of dedication, hard work, and tireless effort instead of in football or other sports but into academics. I wonder how that would impact our struggles in our communities. The communities that these “so-called” superstars come from are dysfunctional to say the least. These communities are crime-ridden, poor, and have a high concentration of fatherless homes.

The story involves a rivalry between two Pop Warner teams, the Liberty City Warriors vs Gwen Cherry and how football shapes the lives of the kids playing, the community, and the culture. It’s amazing to me to see how hard these kids are working for an opportunity as a professional athlete that only a fraction of them will ever realize. You see in sports if you can’t dribble or catch you practice until you can, but where is that same dedication when it comes to not reading or math? Imagine if they were working this hard academically to become doctors, scientists, and entrepreneurs what that would look like. You see if you graduate medical school you become a doctor there is no draft, if you go to graduate school and become a PhD you become a scientist. But the culture we live in is so misguided that the message these kids are given is that sports is their only way out of their poverty, but is this true?

We have had professional football players for over 50 years and the poverty rate has not gone down it has gotten worse in these communities. In fact many of those who became professionals added to the problem by fathering out-of-wedlock children and abandoning them. Just because you are a great athlete doesn’t make you a great person. It has been discovered by the media that a lot of these leagues are actually opportunities for adults to gamble at the expense of these kids. Many criminals have purchased athletic equipment not out of some spirit of altruism, but to improve their odds of winning.

I think what if the people of these communities spent half as much effort into improving their neighborhoods as they do in sports and entertainment. Sunday through Friday these communities are war zones, yet on Saturday mornings they are arenas for the gladiators; many of whom begin as early as 4 years old. What are these kids being taught that their only worth in life is as gladiators for our entertainment? One man in the piece said that DeVonta Freeman was the man of his house as a child. How is this possible? He was the oldest of 6 children with no father. There is an epidemic in our communities and no one wants to address it, but it is the biggest cause of generational poverty that we have: fatherless homes. And yet we continue to fuel this epidemic knowing what the consequences to our children will be, that they will also live in poverty. How can we say we love our children when we put them in these positions?

How can I expect someone to love my children more than me? I keep hearing why won’t the government do this or that, but the real question is why you aren’t as a parent doing it. The question we never seem to ask is why. We always ask the how: how do we feed hungry kids, how do we teach kids who aren’t prepared to learn, or how do we get them supplies. As long as we are asking how instead of why we never get to the long-term solution. How will never lead us to the solution, only why can do that. If children are hungry the question isn’t how, but why. By asking why we can find the solution. However, it seems no one is really interested in finding solutions.

I’ve always believed and understood that the key to real and sustained transformation in the men we work with has been and always will be employment. While the tools we provide them are invaluable and can lead to a more successful and productive life without an opportunity at the end of the day the negative forces that so many of these guys struggle against daily will once again overtake them. That is why my number one goal and mission is finding employment opportunities for these guys.

I remember them from the time they first showed up looking bewildered and troubled until the day they graduated looking confident and ready to take on the world. Over the course of the three weeks we build trust and bonds to one another and so it is extremely difficult for me when they call asking if I have located any opportunities for them because they are ready or that they really need it. I cannot express my frustration when I see the guys at our weekly support group or get a call from one of them just “checking in” on the progress of my efforts. After witnessing the transformation that many of them made just to get to this point I am inspired every day to continue to press on.

If we are going to redevelop the urban core of our major cities we need to answer the question of employment opportunity for these men. The difficulty is of course that as a nation we have not done an adequate job of developing a national employment policy and my fear is that the current employment numbers are the new normal or worse that they will continue to increase. You would think that the employment of our people and developing a pathway out of poverty through employment would be a priority; unfortunately instead what we have been given is political dysfunction. My fear is that what the top 5%’s doesn’t understand is that unless there is a large buffer between them and the rest of the country there will be chaos and anarchy which benefits none of us. We cannot and should not become a society that has disposable human beings who are not allowed to contribute to society.

We were all created with value that is inherited from our Creator. We were all created to do great things with talents and abilities. It does not benefit any of us to allow those gifts and talents to go unused. Does anyone believe that we are so overflowing with talent that we can just allow our fellow citizens to not participate in our economy and society? As we become a more aging population and the baby boomers continue to retire at record numbers we are going to need all hands on deck participating in this economy to maintain even some semblance of our current lifestyles.

We at ReEngage believe we have one solution to the challenges that have historically prevented some members of our community from fully participating in our economy. However, the final judgment will be in the employment numbers. Our success will in large part be based on how many people we were able to get employed. If you would like to support or join our efforts, please consider using our staffing services company for your next temporary workers. We provide highly motivated and reliable workers. We provide our customers with flexibility and many value added services.

On Saturday October 26th some of the men of ReEngage participated in the landscaping project for the Bancroft School Apartments along with some of our partners The Make It Right Foundation, NHS, and The Dalmark Group. We were part of large group of volunteers who came out to help complete the landscaping of the complex including tree planting, sod laying, and rain garden creating. It was really awesome to see so many people come out to support such a great project from all parts of the city and country. You won’t see these folks on the podium at the ribbon cutting, but it is efforts like this that helped to bring this project to the Manheim Park neighborhood.

ReEngage Staffing would like to thank our corporate and community partners that provide opportunities some of our men to work at the Bancroft and other projects throughout the city. Thank you Dalmark Group, Straub Construction, Make It Right, and NHS for your support of ReEngage Staffing and the men we employ. My hope is that we can continue to employ these private/public projects to get more men stable and long-term employment as we seek to reengage them back into their families and communities. For just a mere $1,000.00 a man we can take a disengaged and unemployed man and train him and get him reengaged back into his family, his community, and a tax paying member of society. Of the 18 men we trained so far this year in Kansas City, 12 are currently employed full-time and working to make their communities better. We believe that is a small price to pay for changing not just one man’s life, but the life of an entire community.

Please take the time right now to support our efforts by making a tax-deductible donation to ReEngage, Inc. Also, if you are an employer who has wanted to participate in hiring disadvantaged workers but were afraid of the risks associated with doing it, please contact us and let us show you how we have been able to mitigate that risk and allow our partners to focus on their business.
