Harry Sydney – Founder and Mentor
Harry Sydney possesses a degree in criminology and juvenile justice from the University of Kansas. He is the father of eight children, four boys and four girls.
Sydney played professional football for 10 seasons and coached running backs with the Green Bay Packers for six. He won Super Bowl Championships with the San Francisco 49ers in 1988 and 1989, and with the Green Bay Packers as their running backs coach in 1996. When Sydney retired from the National Football League he launched this non-profit organization in 2003 because he made his home in Green Bay and wanted to make a difference in the community!
Since 2003 he has dedicated himself to helping more than 9,000 boys and men find success in dealing with the hardships in their lives. He personally mentors each individual, helping them gain the knowledge and skills to make positive changes in their lives.
By teaming with the Green Bay Correctional Institution, the Brown County Juvenile Detention Center and various school districts in the area, Harry has been able to work directly with boys and men who have a history of making “bad” decisions and have taught them about respect, integrity, responsibility and goal setting. He treats everyone that walks through the door with honesty and respect. He is willing to talk about anything that will help improve the quality of their lives, ranging from a teen struggling to fit in, to helping a paroled convict make better decisions and become a productive member of the community.
Harry’s dedication to the boys and men in the program goes above and beyond the long hours at the office. He makes himself available at all hours to anyone who is in need. Harry is here to help!
