History Statement

Founded in 2019 by Michael R. Morgan, A Few Good MENtors, Inc. began as a vision to address the growing need for positive male role models in the lives of young men. Inspired by the foundational principles instilled by his parents and siblings, Michael brought over three decades of federal leadership and mentoring experience to the organization. What started as a small initiative has since grown into a thriving nonprofit serving boys and young men in multiple communities. Through innovative programs, consistent guidance, and a steadfast commitment to core values, A Few Good MENtors continues to impact lives and build brighter futures.
