Too Many
Students Are
Being Left Behind.
We Make Sure They Aren’t.
Across Atlanta, students are navigating academic gaps, unstable home environments, and limited exposure to what life after high school can look like.
Families need support they can trust. Schools need partners who actually show up. Donors need proof that their investment makes a real impact.
That’s where Men of Excellence comes in.
We provide consistent, daily support inside schools. No cost. No transportation. No barriers. Just real results.

Built From Experience. Driven By Purpose.
Men of Excellence was founded by DeAndre Holt, who once stood in the same position as the students we serve today.
After being impacted by mentorship himself, he built a career in finance and returned to create the support system he once needed.
What started as a volunteer effort has grown into a trusted nonprofit serving over 150 students annually across Atlanta.
