Brandon Goodfellow founded Horsepower Haven Outreach inspired by his own life experiences and his faith. He saw an opportunity to bring young men together around something he already loved — cars, engines, and the track — and to surround them with mentors who could model consistency, responsibility, and respect.<\/p>

The organization takes its name from Brandon’s daughter, Haven — a reminder that at the center of every mentor relationship is the same thing every parent wants for their own child: a safe place to grow.<\/p>

Today, Horsepower Haven Outreach brings together roughly 8 volunteer mentors and a growing group of young men who meet on Friday evenings at the group’s race shop or at the track. It’s still an early-stage program — but it’s a real one, built one relationship at a time.<\/p>

“It’s about creating a welcoming environment where positive relationships develop naturally.”
— Brandon Goodfellow, Founder<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
