Missions of Service

The ManKind Project challenges each man to find and develop his own life’s mission ... and to live that mission fully with the support of a powerful network of other men. Through his mission, a man can realize his purpose and share his gifts with the world. Like a pebble in a pond, a man's mission ripples out effecting those around him and transforming the world.
The Ron Hering Mission of Service Award
Each Year The ManKind Project recognizes one man or a group of men from each community who is taking action to live his mission in the world. You will see some of the amazing projects that New Warriors throughout the world have been working on to make a positive difference in the world. You may get inspired to support them or to set off on your own journey of creation.
If you don't have a clear sense of purpose, the ManKind Project may help you get in touch with your own unique calling in the world. If you are living a mission in your life, MKP may help you get even further clarity about your mission and provide you with a broad community of support to help you live your purpose!
