Scott Chatman considers himself to be a man of honor, integrity and humility and he says he has a heart to help people in need. His passion for “A Titus Man Inc.” hones in on our boys and young men. His passion and mission is to help assist them in reaching their full potential as productive, caring, responsible citizens, and keeping them from turning to the streets for the things they lack at home. He is determined to help keep young men out of the justice system which so many of them get caught up in. With the absence of fathers and community programs, so many of our youth get caught up in gangs and illegal activities that it cost them their life or loss of time, something they will never get back should they choose this path. “It is vital for ATM to receive the help we need in order to achieve our goal of helping those that are in situations where they may never experience programs and training like we have to offer, Chatman says. He also said there are so many community and government programs around the country that no longer exist and hopes to expand ATM around the country. “The decision to develop “A Titus Man Inc,” was an easy one because of the heartfelt feelings I have for our boys and young men in our community,” says Chatman. It’s obvious that he understands that every child needs and deserves the opportunity to be great and to become successful, not only in life but in giving back in their community “It truly takes a village to raise a child,” Chatman says. It is a powerful sentiment that we have moved so far away from.
