The South Hilltop Men’s Group is a organization on a mission to reclaim our streets, restore our community pride and repair the damage that was done by years of disinvestment and neglect. We seek to provide healthy alternatives to the destructive behaviors that harm the community. Our approach to healing the neighborhoods is through educational, spiritual, and economic empowerment. We provide programming that encourages responsible entrepreneurism, workforce development, and case management support with a focus on building community. The South Hilltop Men’s Group provides opportunities for training, certification, field experience, and living wage employment through community partners such as Construction Junction and Hilltop Rising. They are the lead developer in the Beltzhoover Institute for Arts & Sciences renovation project.
