The purpose of this organization is to stimulate a strong interest in the successful retention, degree completion, and matriculation of minority male students. This organization will also serve as a mentorship for male students to promote a sense of community, cultivate brotherhood, and to provide support, amongst and for all Maricopa County Community College District (MCCCD) students, specifically here at  South Mountain Community  College.

The Male Empowerment Network is designed to meet lifelong learning needs of a diverse male student population through the values of inclusiveness, dignity, honor, respect, brotherhood, honesty, integrity, innovation, learning, responsibility, stewardship, excellence and community.

How Can M.E.N. Help You?
Succeeding in college takes hard work, perseverance and determination - and a strong support network.  That 's where M.E.N. comes in.

Members often enroll in the same courses so that they can study and mentor each other. Leadership workshops and networking encourages members to know each other across the Maricopa district. This means that M.E.N. members have a wide net of support that lasts well after they leave  South Mountain Community College.
