The Mission

Men and Women of Action seeks to develop and cultivate the academic,

social, spiritual, and ethical principles of young men and women so that

they are equipped to fulfill their God-given purpose in life.

The History

Started in 2005, God gave Arthur Hawkins a vision to reach out to troubled young men at Salem High School. Modeling after the Big Boys and

Big Girls Club of Clarksville, TN which Mr. Hawkins founded before coming to Georgia, he

had a plan to reach out to the young men at Salem to teach them about God and to reach

out to the community. In 2007, this organization opened itself to young women.

The Objective

The MWOA objective is to develop character in young men and

women by having them provide assistance to the elderly,

impoverished, and mentor to other youth in their communities.

The Goal

Through weekly devotionals and monthly FUSE meetings, MWOA

seeks to start and build a relationship with God through the

Lord Jesus Christ in our young people. Without this foundation, nothing worthwhile can succeed.

The Goal

Through monthly community service outreaches (i.e. homeless

shelters and assisted living facilities) and mentoring, we

teach young men and women to serve others and give back.

Weekly DevotionalsThese weekly devotionals are led by student

leaders who have a desire to walk with God and to share the Bible and its teachings with their peers.

FUSE MeetingsThese once a month meetings are designed to teach the youth

how to start and continue their walk with God and to teach manners/etiquette and moral responsibility. These meetings

have Christian speakers from various churches and the community.

Community ServiceThese outreaches serve the community by teaching the

youth what it means to give of themselves. These projects are typically feeding and ministering to the

homeless and the elderly.

MentoringThese outreaches also serve the community. These projects are typically mentoring and tutoring young people in the academic areas. This can be done in

middle schools and grade schools.

The Structure

The Structure

The structure is based on growth by multiplication. Each student leader and huddle leader is

responsible to mentor and lead a small group and helping them to grow their team closer in their

walk with God and building their relationships with one another, following the model of Jesus and His disciples. We team young men with young men and young women with young women. This is excellent training to use throughout their lives, teaching them leadership and role modeling.

The Support

Through local businesses, local churches, and personal gifts, donations are

received to purchase brochures, Bibles, gospel tracts, devotional and discipleship

material, MWOA t-shirts, and other materials to grow the organization and to

build up and strengthen its members. We are a 501(c)3 non-profit ministry.
