Over 32% of boys in America are now growing up in a fatherless home.

Boys to Men is a non-profit 501(c3) corporation created to guide boys on their journey to manhood through mentoring networks located in middle schools, high schools and foster care facilities.

Our mission is to provide at-risk teenage boys a community of male role models who listen, accept and encourage them to become good men.

We give boys the opportunity to make a conscious choice about what kind of man they want to become, and offer them hope, support and guidance on their path to manhood.

Boys to Men is a complete program with community, mentoring, and a Rite of Passage Adventure weekend that serves both boys and men.

Ongoing Community Mentoring 

Boys and Mentors meet every week in schools and other community venues to talk about what is really going on in their lives. The group aspect of the weekly meetings gives boys access to a variety of male role models. These mentors show up consistently, tell the truth about their struggles as men, ask the boys what kind of man they want to become, praise them for their unique gifts, support them when they screw up, and encourage them to become that good man they all want to be.

Rites of Passage Adventure Weekend  

After boys attend the weekly group sessions for a minimum of three months, they are offered the opportunity to attend the Rite-of-Passage Adventure Weekend. This two-day training is a powerful experience that continues to build the trust, respect and connection between boys and their mentors.
