We Practice What We Believe

– Built by Men Who've Been There.

Men Mending Men in the Community was born from lived experience — the deep knowing that transformation is possible, and that no man should have to navigate it alone. We believe in the power of community, the strength of faith, and the courage it takes to choose a different path. Rooted in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, we create safe, structured spaces where men can connect, grow, and give back — no matter where they're starting from. When a man is restored, his family is restored. When families are restored, communities follow.

Richard Flath

Treasurer

A business owner and mentor for more than 42 years, Richard has witnessed God's faithfulness in boardrooms and living rooms as well. In 2018, he felt a strong, undeniable calling to come alongside men transitioning from incarceration through Partners in Hope — an experience that deepened his faith and compassion for every man he meets. Joining Men Mending Men was one of the most natural next steps: walking alongside brothers in healing, in growth, and hope.

Michael Yarbrough

Ministry Director

A lifelong Milwaukee resident and Associate Pastor at Ebenezer Ministry & Family Worship Center, Mike co-founded All About Increase — a nonprofit dedicated to empowering underserved youth and families across the city. He brings deep spiritual insight, strong community roots, and a genuine love for people to everything he does — grounded in the belief that every man God created carries a unique, God-given purpose that is always worth pursuing wholeheartedly.

John Coburn

Outreach Director

After serving more than 30 years in prison, John found faith, earned an Associate's Degree in Literature and Art, and committed his life to four core values: boundaries, discipline, order, and compassion. He now walks daily alongside men facing homelessness, addiction, and deep isolation — offering his steady presence and hard-won wisdom as living proof that no man is ever truly beyond reach and that full restoration is always possible for every single man.
