Sedona Boys to Men Rite of Passage Weekend

Boys to Men is an engaging, innovative, and safe program that helps boys 13-17 gain the skills and insights they need for their journey to manhood. We help boys: Discover and live their dreams Assert themselves without violence Express their feelings constructively and with clarity Maintain integrity, accountability and self-respect Become healthy, happy, and powerful adult men The program begins with a Rites of Passage Adventure Weekend (RPAW) where positive qualities such as integrity, courage, respect, passion, and leadership are modeled by more than 35 well-trained adult male staff. Through a series of carefully facilitated processes, each boy discovers something of the tremendous magnitude of his own humanity. Boys are challenged in new ways, supported in new ways, and find that they can respond in new ways. They find their own integrity, courage, respect, passion, and leadership and they discover that they can access these qualities and put them to work. It is an exhilarating, life-changing experience that many say they will never forget. But it is only an initiation—a beginning. Over the months that follow, young men work with mentors and their peers to build on what they gained during their RPAW. Our groups are planned to meet every other week. Boys receive support and the chance to support others. They are empowered to learn for themselves and to be part of others’ learning. They discover their own form of leadership, give voice to their truth, risk experiencing and expressing their feelings, and are affirmed for the unique gifts that they bring to the world.
