Boys To Men is a multi-faceted community effort. First, the men in the community step up to be mentors. Second, community involvment of families request that their sons be involved. Third, young men who are involved in the program act as "Journeymen" -- "I Am On A Journey"

Becoming a Journeyman
Boys to Men provides boys with a “rites-of-passage adventure weekend” (RPAW) in a natural or primitive setting, where positive qualities such as integrity, courage, respect, passion, and leadership are modeled by adult male staff.  Additionally, many of our Journeymen (boys who have completed a RPAW) volunteer to staff and assist the new boys entering the program.

Through a series of carefully facilitated processes, each young man discovers something of the scope of his own humanity.  Journeymen are challenged and supported in new ways, and find that they can respond in new ways.  Journeymen find their own integrity, courage, respect, passion, and leadership and discover that they can access these qualities and put them to work.  It is an exhilarating, life-changing experience that many boys say they will never forget.

After successful completion of the weekend you will be honored at a “Homecoming” event where parents, siblings, staff of the weekend, mentors, and other Jmen will be present.

In addition, the community meets as a group every other week. There's games and sports, a BBQ-cookouts and food, fire-rings and discussion groups. The mentors in the community listen to the boys and encourage them to speak their truth and "get something" for themselves.
