Welcome to Boys to Men

We are more than just a mentoring program. Boys to Men Mentoring Network is a non-profit 501(c3) corporation created to guide boys 13-17 on their journey to manhood.         
Our mission is to help boys become better men.
•   We bring good men, Mentors and role models into boy’s lives.
•   We provide boys with mentoring and modeling so that they learn integrity, accountability, compassion and respect. 

Why there is a need

   Divorce rates are over 50% 
•   Over 40% of families are single parent with mom as head of the household
The challenge for boys in today's world is greater than ever. Boys have too few positive role models and far too many negative examples of masculinity. Gangs, drugs, Internet pornography, and teen pregnancies compound this critical time in a young man's life. Too many good boys get caught up in a path they may not have chosen if they had a mentor to help see options, weigh consequences and make positive choices.

Every Boy Wants to be a Good Man

And everyday he is faced with choices he may have to live with for the rest of his life.
How might your life have been different if you had...
•    Someone you could confide in.
•    An adult who cared about you.
•    A Mentor who could help you make the right choices.
Our program gives each boy a chance to decide what kind of man he wants to be. 
We give boys hope, support and guidance. We help them become good men.

Our Program has 3 Main Components:

Imagine Boy Scouts, Big Brothers, and Outward Bound combined. We provide a complete program with community (Boy Scouts), mentoring (BigBrothers), and a Rite of Passage adventure (Outward Bound) that serves both boys and men.
 
1. Reclaim Your Teenage Fire Mentor Training –This experiential training gives men a new perspective on mentoring boys.
2. Rites of Passage Adventure (ROPA) Weekend –This is a powerful weekend for both boys and men. It is a bonding experience that creates trust, respect and builds close connections between boys and their Mentors.
3. Ongoing Group Mentoring –Journeymen (ROPA graduates) and their Mentors meet every two weeks to continue strengthening the bonds they formed during the ROPA weekend.
 
Our boys and Mentors spend more time together on a Boys to Men Weekend than a typical mentor program provides in six months.
