FOUNDERS STATEMENT

Greetings Community and Welcome to 2010.
Our mantra for this year is ‘The Prefect 10, The Perfect Flow’. This mantra emanates from the pure fact of In The Meantime celebrating its 10th year of focused community service to the Los Angeles Community. As we reflect upon 10 years of growth and development we can not forget the countless hours of dedicated work devoted by ITMT’s staff, board of directors, community advisory board and volunteers.

We are grateful for our funders, whom have entrusted ITMT with the resources to facilitate the following scope of work.

Our Scope of Work for 2010

ITMT currently offers two weekly social discussion support groups; The Kick Back for men up to 29 years of age, and Brothers Reaching Brothers open to men of all ages.
