My Daddy Taught Me That AVL

My Daddy Taught Me That is a youth development, leadership and career-exposure program in Asheville, NC open to boys in grades 5-12. The organization focuses on teaching young men how to transition from adolescence into responsible young men; focusing on good decision making, accepting responsibility, and taking accountability for their actions. 
   “My Daddy Taught Me That” was created so every young male would have the opportunity to experience and know firsthand what being a positive male feels like and to learn what productive men do in our society. This program was inspired by Bennie Lake, who dedicated his life to working with youth in his community.  His son, Keynon Lake, founded MDTMT in 2012 as he wanted every young boy to have the experience of knowing what real men do. Real men lead by example, take care of their families, and become community leaders.
