For many of the young men MEN Incorporated mentors, a college campus has only ever existed on TV. On Saturday, October 17, 2026, that changes.

In partnership with the Rice Black Men's Association, we're bringing boys ages 8–18 from Houston-Harris County onto Rice University's campus for a full day of mentorship, discovery, and fun; a campus tour and scavenger hunt, real conversations with Black male college mentors, hands-on activities that make “college life” feel real and reachable, and an afternoon of games alongside the RBMA family.

For the students and families we serve, this day is completely free. That's the point, a young man's first glimpse of college shouldn't come with a price tag. But free for families means funded by community, and that's where you come in.

Your gift covers the real costs of the day: lunch for every student and mentor, sunscreen and water for a full day outdoors, Rice-themed goodie bags, and the small prizes that turn a scavenger hunt into a memory. Every dollar keeps this experience exactly what it's meant to be....free, welcoming, and unforgettable.

Help us put a college campus within reach for a young man who's never pictured himself there.
