Explore Your Truth, Find Your Voice at the Twin Cities Men's Center.

WE NEED YOUR HELP The Men's Center is open for online activities: Support Groups & Anger Management Classes. The global pandemic has forced TCMC to suspend all in-person activities for the foreseeable future. These activities were our primary source of income and the loss of this income threatens our very existence. We are an extremely lean non-profit - we only spend money on basics like rent, utilities, and insurance. If we do not raise significant funds very soon, we will be forced to close for good in the next 2-3 months. Even as we struggle to survive financially, we are working on ways to continue our activities in digital form. But setting this up takes time and money, and even once this is done we know it won't replace all of the money we were able to raise with our in-person services. The TCMC board has determined the bare minimum we need to continue functioning for the rest of 2020, and we have also calculated the average donation we need from every person who uses TCMC's services. That number is $60 for the rest of 2020. If you are reading this, chances are that TCMC has helped you or someone close to you get through a difficult time. Please consider returning the favor and helping TCMC get through this difficult time with your donation. If $60 for the year isn't in your budget, we understand. Please use the Donate button below to contribute whatever you can afford. TCMC is in its 44th year and we think you'll agree that there is a need, now more than ever, for us to continue serving the men of the Twin Cities. Please help us to help you. DONATE

Since 1973, men have been discovering the Twin Cities Men's Center to find emotional support from other men — in all of life's transformation situations: discovering who I am and what I want; experiencing the end of a marriage or a relationship breakup; exploring sexuality; learning about father-son relationships; facing retirement; re-entering society after a time-out in prison; managing expression of anger, etc.

An educational non-profit, TCMC has produced 7 Midwest Regional Men's Conferences, hundreds of workshops on a myriad variety of subjects, and is the primary clearinghouse for Men's Resources in the Twin Cities.
