How You Can Help

We Need YOUR Help to Support Men's Haven!

Our Peer Support Network needs peers — like you!

Men’s Haven is a community where men build friendships, learn new skills, share experiences, and become active participants in life. 
 
We do NOT provide professional mental health treatment, therapy, or clinical services here, but we can connect men with professional resources only upon their request.
 
That being said, the only way that a peer-support method works is if men show up. This could mean coming to activities, making yourself available as a resource on something you’re experienced in, or jumping in to help when someone needs a hand up.
 

Basically – in a nutshell, we’re looking for men to come hang out. It’s as simple as that.

 
We’re also trying to plan some activities for men that can be held inside the walls of the Lock Haven Masonic Lodge, as they have graciously volunteered the space for our use.
 
You’ll see on our Activities page that we have lots of great ideas, but we need people to help us get them going! If you’ve got a particular skill, knowledge, or experience that could help other men, we’d love to hear from you.
 
We are hunting for people who know:
– how to tie flies for fly fishing, and how to fly fish in general
– men who can talk “cars”
– men who have a favorite recipe or technique to share
– men with hunting wisdom to share with new hunters
– men who have struggled with addiction and recovered who are willing to share
– men who might be willing to mentor a younger man without a father figure
– men who like to watch sports events on a big tv with snacks
– men who like to play card games, from bridge and rummy to Magic the Gathering
– and so much more.
 

If you would be willing to hang out with a bunch of guys and share your knowledge, we’d LOVE to hear from you. And if you can bring some mates along, that would be even better!

Explore Volunteer Opportunities

At Men’s Haven, we believe everyone can make a difference. Whether you have a few hours or a regular commitment, there’s a role for you. Join us in various activities like organizing events, offering help during activities, or even mentoring others. Every contribution matters and helps foster a sense of belonging.

Become Part of Our Community

Being present at a Men’s Haven activity makes more of a difference than you may think.  We provide a place where men can get out of the house, try something interesting, meet people, and have real conversations. The activity gets you there… the rest happens naturally. 

We Also Need Places to Hold Our Activites!

Outdoor Activities

Do you have a really great fishing spot? Or maybe a river lot? Would you be willing to have a group of men come to your location for an afternoon of fishing? Or maybe a campfire and coffee? Do you have go karts? Or a great place to play cards outside?

Businesses and Other Spots

We are also looking for businesses that would be interested in partnering up for hosting things like Men’s Breakfast, checking out the latest trail cameras, man-centric projects, and other opportunities to take the group out into the community.

Donate Money

If you have a crazy schedule or cannot attend our activities, you could always donate funds to provide support. As a nonprofit with 501c3 status, the only funds that we have to work for events and activities are by donation. Absolutely any amount is helpful!

Sponsor an Event

Help us provide the supplies for an event! If we’re doing cheesy Halloween movies, be willing to pay for some pizzas! Or if we’re watching Die Hard for Christmas (cuz it’s a Christmas movie), help us pay for bratwurst and ho-ho-ho cookies.

Frequently Asked Questions

Here are some questions we often hear about how you can help.
What kind of activities do you offer?

At Men’s Haven, we’re trying to create events and activities for men to get together and have fun in each other’s company. That can be a game of cards, dinner and a movie, fly-fishing, or even going out to breakfast together. 

Our activities are designed to foster support and connection among men. We believe in creating a community space where men feel comfortable hanging out. If you’d be receptive to this idea, we could absolutely use your help.

Of course. We are always looking for the funds and available supplies to create great activities for the group. We do hope that, if your schedule allows it, you are able to come and see the difference that comoraderie makes in men’s lives. 

Wonderful! Please tell your friends about Men’s Haven and what we’re trying to accomplish. If any businesses need to see proof of our 501c3 status or tax id before sponsoring or donating time, funds, or their location, we are happy to provide it.
