ABOUT US
Welcome to The Gábor Initiative
The Hebrew word Gibbor or Gibor (גִּבּוֹר) is a noun and loosely translates to strong God or strong man. The stories in the Bible describe men with countless flaws overcoming immense adversity with strength and courage. Gabor is the adjective of the noun Gibor and means to be an active strong man or man of God. The "Strong Man" Initiative lies at the core of our organization's mission, embodying the values we seek to uphold.
​
At The Gábor Initiative, we strive to initiate relationships that empower young men and boys through companionship and leadership. We strive to foster meaningful connections that inspire mental, emotional and spiritual growth, ensuring that every individual has access to the guidance and support they need to navigate their unique journey.
Our Mission
We will foster 100 new relationships, teach self-sustaining tools, and impact at least 25 communities by 2026 because every male needs intentional relationships to navigate life’s challenges, discern their gifts, and grow into men of character who positively impact their families and communities.
Meetings
Mentors and Mentees will meet one on one over zoom to adventure on a journey of growth and relationship. This system is designed to work with schedules. All you need is patience and a willingness to show up. Wherever you are, you should be able to meet over a video platform like Zoom twice a month to discuss and hangout. Feel out the relationship and go day by day. Some meetings could be a bible study where you both pick a book of the new testament and break it down. It could be talking about relationships or friendships or personal struggles. It is a process for both of you so be patient.

Our Vision
We envision a world where every young man and boy has access to a relationship where strength and vulnerability are interconnected. Through these relationships, we believe our mentees and mentors will go on to be the restoration of their community, family and future.
​
The old Chinese proverb goes to the heart of our mission. "Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime." We strive to help mentees discover and cultivate their unique gifts and skills, empowering them to achieve success in every aspect of their lives.
