Journeymen


  • About Us

    Journeymen Asheville is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization offering group mentoring and rites of passage to adolescent boys ages 12-17. Journeymen is founded on the understanding that throughout history, across cultures, boys required the guidance of initiated men to make their transition from childhood to adulthood in a way that was generative to themselves and their communities. While such a need for guidance is as vital as ever—epidemic levels of boys now have no man in their lives to provide it. Our program is based in that simple and organic process of personal relationship development among individuals—it is not therapeutic, clinical, political or advocacy-based. Journeymen follows a group mentoring approach based on Listening, Accepting, Modeling and Blessing.
