Since its inception in 2014, No Father No Excuse, a 501c3 organization, strives to create an atmosphere through mentoring that will help fill the role of an active father in the lives of adolescents who lack their presence. We also help students pursue their dreams while providing guidance and tools necessary to become successful adults. The mentors, under the direction of Steven Dent, have dedicated themselves to positively impact the lives of the participants and their families, and the community at large. Because of their commitment and consistency, No Father No Excuse has grown to mentor thirty young men and women, and counting, throughout the Tidewater area.
