Building Stronger Communities Through Mentorship, Education, and Opportunity
The More Than A Cut Foundation uplifts youth and families through mentorship, barbering, and education. We create spaces where purpose, confidence, and opportunity grow — turning everyday experiences into lifelong impact.
Our Mission
The More Than A Cut Foundation exists to uplift, educate, and empower individuals through barbering, mentorship, and community engagement. We believe that every haircut can inspire confidence, build connection, and create opportunities for growth.
Who We Are
Founded in Vallejo, California, The More Than A Cut Foundation (MTAC) was created to spark positive change within our communities. What began as a vision to make a difference through the art and culture of barbering has evolved into a movement focused on empowerment, education, and opportunity.
We support youth, families, and aspiring professionals through scholarships, mentorship, and community programs that inspire growth and lasting change. MTAC exists to remind every individual that they hold value, purpose, and the power to make an impact.
