The Builder of Men Training Academy was conceptualized in 2011 when Mr. Ward worked with a number of youth intervention programs. His role at the time was a health educator; however, the youth were more responsive to the “Real Life” conversations would have with the youth. What he discovered was the ability to bridge the gap between what the administrators of the programs were trying to get through to the kids and what they actually needed to hear to relate to the message. In an effort to help the young men he had encountered Mr. Ward set out to write a self-help manual to guide young men down the narrow path of “Manhood”. After the completion of the book Mr. Ward saw the need to formulate workshops and a series of seminars to help educate the youth while using the manual entitles The Man-U-Script as a reference book. By the year 2021 The Builder of Men Training Academy was established as an LLC and in 2022 The Builder of Men Training Academy became a Non-Profit organization, which it still stands today.
