Who We Are

At Kalos Institute, we are a team of volunteer Christian men who are aiming to build up young men through training in trades and developing relationships through shoulder to shoulder conversation.

While directly training the hands, we find that the hearts and minds are most readily impacted. Our goal is to come alongside parents to build complete men who will be prepared to lead families, churches, and organizations of their own.

Kalos Institute is a 501(c)(3) non-profit located in Eaton Township, Ohio and registered in the state of Ohio in 2023.

11 and to aspire to live quietly, and to mind your own affairs, and to work with your hands, as we instructed you, 12 so that you may walk properly before outsiders and be dependent on no one.

1 Thessalonians 4:11-12
