Michael R. Morgan is the Founder and President of A Few Good MENtors, Inc., a nonprofit dedicated to guiding boys and young men ages 8–21 into adulthood with purpose, confidence, and integrity. Inspired by the example of his parents and grounded in faith, Michael launched AFGM in 2019 to address the challenges faced by young men in the absence of consistent role
models.
Michael previously served for 36 years with the Federal Bureau of Investigation, where he conducted countless interviews, trained and mentored colleagues, and developed expertise in leadership, discipline, and resilience. His federal service provides a unique foundation for the practical and impactful approach he brings to mentorship today.
Under his leadership, AFGM has grown into a trusted community partner, delivering programs rooted in the organization’s S.H.I.E.L.D.S. values: Spirituality, Health, Integrity, Leadership, Development, and Stewardship. Michael is also a certified DISC instructor, author, and speaker who equips mentors, parents, and community leaders with actionable tools to impact the next generation.
Michael’s mission is simple yet powerful: to show that just one hour a week can change a young person’s life and, in turn, strengthen entire communities.
