Mentor Training

BTM recruits and assigns one mentor (adult man) for each young man who goes through the rite of passage weekend.

There is a mandatory 48-hour mentor-training program that all mentors must complete prior to the weekend.

Each mentor commits to attend community meetings with his mentee for one full year.

Each mentor must pass an FBI background check.

The mentor's purpose is to guide, support and help reinforce new, healthy male behaviors.

Are You The One?

Initially, many of our mentors had some fears, which subsided after mentor training and experiencing the power of the initiation weekend. The joys of mentoring teach you many things: How to listen, without giving your own fantastic advice. How to be a better parent to your own children. What it's like to be in the middle of adolescence and how to make a difference in a young man's life.

It is amazing how innocent and tender these young men are. They are eager for this kind of attention and admiration from older men.

Mentoring is fun, it's fulfilling, and it is desperately needed. Here is your opportunity to help one young man down a successful path to adulthood.
