One Million Strong

One Decade, One Million Men

With our first decade in the books. We have set our sights on the impact we will make in our next decade—strengthening one million caregiving men. 

From childhood, men are told, "be strong"—which usually translates to bottling things up and white-knuckling through life.

But at Jack’s, we believe in a different kind of strength:

  • The strength to ask for and accept help (without needing to "owe someone a beer" in return).
  • The strength to rely on a team (because even superheroes have side kicks).
  • The strength to care for yourself while caring for others (yes, naps count).
  • The strength to open your heart—so it can grow, not break. 

Which kind of strength would you wish for the people caring for you? 

Imagine a world where caregiving isn’t seen as a solo burden but as a team effort, where men who are Caregivers are finally recognized as athletes of compassion, not outliers. Where caregiving is no longer viewed as just a "women’s role"—because last we checked, love and responsibility don’t come with gender labels.

That’s what One Million Strong is all about. It’s more than a slogan, it’s a movement. If you feel called to join it, let’s connect. We need all the help we can get (yes, especially yours).

All our best,

Jean Accius & Kyle Woody
