Raising Arizona’s Men
According to its website, Renee Hanson is the founder of RAM. She was inspired to establish the ministry after watching a news story about a child who died due to neglect while in foster care.
She started RAM after learning that the greatest need in foster care was supporting and developing the hearts and minds of boys.
RAM believes that as long as the young boys’ hearts are nurtured and protected, negative influences will not impact them. They believe that making boys nurtured and protected would help the boys protect themselves from making crucial mistakes that affect them until adulthood.
It also aspires to train and teach young boys in foster care and beyond. It aims to help these young boys acquire skills for life.
Moreover, RAM targets to serve as a bridge from the foster care system to adulthood.
As shared on its Facebook page, RAM is about shepherding boys into becoming men who will positively impact others, the community, or the group to which they belong.
Among the vital roles of RAM is to help young men to become independent. It works on training young men to live away from the foster care system.
Furthermore, RAM works to help young men become strong leaders of the community.
