Man Pledge

Man Pledge

"Prelude

We were born males not men.  We will become men when we learn the art and science of manhood. 

Pledge

We vow to work to become men, to leave childhood, boyhood behind us.  

We vow to seek knowledge of the best way to relate to ourselves to our Almighty, to our families, and to the community.  

We vow to now, to seek answers to, who we were, who we are, and know where we're going.  

We vow to be the positive example of manhood, and brotherhood, to be a brother to the community and institutions to which we belong.  

We vow to work to make the place where we are better than the way we found it. 

We vow to develop ourselves to save lives, not to take lives.  

We will provide, protect and secure life.  

We will be constructive, not destructive. 

We vow to live the seven (R's) of righteousness, respect, responsibility, restraint, reciprocity, rhythm, and redemption."
