Norman Young - Man Cave

Muskegon Rising, a community service project of the Muskegon Rotary Club, sits down with community leader and fatherhood advocate Norman Young, founder of Man Cave and the seven-week curriculum A Father’s Love. In this powerful conversation, Norman explains how his Dad Detector Test helps fathers and father figures identify their strengths, uncover blind spots, heal from trauma, and move from fear-based parenting to purposeful, love-driven fatherhood. Serving dads from all backgrounds across Muskegon County, Man Cave offers free weekly cohorts, ongoing Cave Connections alumni gatherings, and partnerships with schools, recovery centers, and local organizations to support men as they grow as parents and leaders at home. Listeners learn how to access the program, bring Man Cave into their own organizations, and why Norman believes that a father’s primary purpose is to love their children—shaping families, communities, and futures in Muskegon and beyond.
