MISSION STATEMENT

We are an organization of Christian Men that strive to serve as Fathers to the Fatherless, building servant leaders who are responsible to their communities and families through Modeling, Mentoring, Mastering, Motivating, and creating Momentum for achievement throughout Chicago.

 

 

CCM strives to shape the young men into healthy, well-rounded individuals through encouraging academic excellence and transformational leadership. Our student questionaries’ have revealed that CCM youth participants show strong interest in sports based careers and a strong dis-interest in academic performance. 

 

We recognize that the young men are more comfortable striving to become what they see in their communities.  We also hypothesize that the young men in the program struggle to believe they can be successful in school. We believe this is a self-efficacy issue. Self-efficacy is the belief that someone has the capabilities to execute and complete a task successfully (Tsang, Hui & Law, 2012). CCM recognizes the importance of self-efficacy because it increases one’s confidence in their ability to succeed at new things. We believe the increase in self-efficacy will help our students become more comfortable exploring higher levels of academic success and careers options that they might not see in their peers and community.

 

OUR GOAL

CCM evaluates the all of our programs based on the following outcomes:

  • Increased Self Efficacy

All Concerned Christian Men programs are designed to build student Self Efficacy by challenging them to perform various research based activities that have been shown to have a positive impact on student’s self-concept and personal belief that they can succeed.  

  • Increased Awareness of Career Opportunities

All Concerned Christian Men programs are designed to expose young men to careers that can impact urban community health and growth.  

  • Increased Value of Education

All Concerned Christian Men programs are designed to help improve student’s academic capacities. Students will also learn the role the education plays in their long term success and ability to achieve career based outcomes. 

  • Increased Value of CCM Identified Principles

All Concerned Christian Men programs are designed to emphasize the importance of being teachable, determined, loving, open-hearted, open-minded, and a peace-maker.
