BOYS TO MEN MENTORING NETWORK OF NORTHERN CALIFORNIA INC

Boys to Men Mentoring offers adolescent boys the chance to meet weekly in a group with 2-4 adult male mentors and a dozen male peers. Programs are available both during and after school hours, with our most successful programs occurring during the school day. In Boys to Men groups, participants discuss common challenges adolescent males face as they transition to adulthood. Topics include integrity, peer pressure, accountability, respect, handling negative emotions positively, building healthy relationships, goal setting, and addressing current life issues the boys bring to the group. Our mentorship circles create a safe space where boys can express their feelings, share difficulties, and talk about their challenges. Often, this support is enough to keep them on a positive path. Every day, boys are joining gangs, dropping out of school, and turning to drugs or alcohol to cope with life’s pressures. Boys to Men Mentoring offers a much better alternative.
