Son of a Saint

Established in 2011 by Bivian 'Sonny' Lee III, the organization's inception is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit. Rooted in a deep commitment to change lives, Son of a Saint has become a driving force in providing mentorship and opportunities to young boys who have lost their fathers. Son of a Saint is a necessary intervention at a delicate time – a wellspring of positive influence when needed most, by boys who need the most.

Son of a Saint is a New Orleans-based 501c3 nonprofit dedicated to transforming the lives of fatherless boys in our community. Through our mission, we work to uplift the young men in our program through mentorship, emotional support, development of life skills, exposure to constructive experiences and formation of positive, lasting peer-to-peer relationships. We equip our mentees with the tools they need to become productive men, giving them hope, vision and opportunity. We also provide a secure and consistent environment for them. Our program’s most important role is simply to be a good example on a holistic level.
