Our Mission

Boys To Men Mentoring centers across the US provide safe, site-based group mentoring circles for teen boys.

By reliably modeling mature masculine behavior, our mentors build trust and develop empathetic communication skills, while creating opportunities for teens to earn authentic honor, discover their true purpose in life, and grow into mature and responsible young men.

Boys To Men USA serves our regional centers with training opportunities, program and administrative best practices, and technology support.

Our Programs

Our programs provide continuous opportunities for ongoing social/emotional development

  • Designed for Safety – Physical, emotional, and psychological safety are the foundation of our programs.
  • Eight Core Values – Our programs center on eight core values: Self-Awareness, Integrity, Accountability, Responsibility, Authenticity, Resilience, Compassion/Empathy, and Inclusivity.
  • 32-Week Mentoring Curriculum – Our in-school mentoring circles are comprised of three to four mentors and up to 15 boys.
  • Adventure Weekends are an intensive experience in which boys play and do deep work, forming bonds that are the foundations of healthy individuals and communities.
  • Journeymen are mentees who have completed an Adventure Weekend. They are youth leaders-in-training, and have earned the right to participate in additional outings.
  • Mentor Training – All of our Mentors are required to attend a 6-hour training called Rekindling the Teenage Fire (RTF).
  • Facilitator Training – Our Facilitators are required to attend an additional “Level 2” training weekend which covers group dynamics, creating trust, managing different energy levels, empathetic communications, mandated reporting, and more.
  • Continuing Education – All of our mentors and facilitators are mentored and trained on an ongoing basis, both locally, and through supplemental trainings made available through the Boys To Men USA Network.

Never Alone
