Godfrey Moye began his career as an actor in New York City and Los Angeles —
building a life around performance, auditions, and stage work. But a deeper calling toward
youth work redirected his path entirely. He became a speaker at a Teen Program, delivering
talks at schools, churches, and counseling centers, and found that the moments that mattered
most weren't on stage — they were the conversations afterward, with teenagers working through
something real.
In 2013, he founded B4Men, a middle school boys' program in Southern
California, built around that same instinct: young people do better with someone showing up
consistently, not just speaking to them once.
After returning to New York City in 2016, Godfrey was appointed Youth Development Specialist
at the Living Redemption Youth Opportunity Hub in Harlem, and began
volunteering with Young Life alongside that work — eventually transitioning
into a full-time role there in 2020. During this stretch, he earned his
B.A. in Youth Ministry Leadership from Eastern University, pairing years of
hands-on experience with a formal foundation in adolescent development and mentorship.
Today, Godfrey mentors youth across New York City — in churches, schools, colleges, and
counseling centers — with 15+ years spent building programming that treats a young person's
identity and purpose as something worth taking seriously, not an afterthought bolted onto a
lecture. Life On Purpose is the direct result: a structured, research-grounded curriculum
built from what he's actually seen work in a room full of students, not from theory alone.
