Boys to Men Mentoring (BTM) is a group mentoring program working to connect hundreds of teenage boys to positive male role models they can depend on. BTM programs include weekly, in-school group mentoring, retreat weekends, beach trips, and other activities all geared to improve each boy's overall self-esteem, critical thinking skills, and self-accountability.

_I have counseled and mentored boys in the 6th, 7th and 8th grade at various schools for the past 7 years. Like me the vast % of these boys do not have a father figure in there lives. I see first hand the difference  (1).png

As a mentor, I attend weekly group circles giving each boy a safe space to express their anger, frustration, and insecurities without judgment.  Myself, along with over 100 mentors, are working to bring disconnected boys back into our community and encourage them to be young men of integrity, honesty, and service.

Please consider making a donation to my page and help me support these young men who are working to be the best they can be!

Thank you for your support.

More About Boys to Men

NO BACKGROUND JPEG.jpg

When Boys to Men Mentoring began in 1996, the devastation of fatherlessness on our community fueled their desire to support fatherless teenage boys as they transitioned into adulthood. A boy without a dad in his life is disproportionately more likely to drop out of high school, end up in prison, and commit suicide. Since then, BTM has grown to provide weekly mentorship to teenage boys from all walks of life looking for positive men empower them to be the best they can be.

Today, BTM facilitates weekly group mentoring at over 36 middle and high schools across San Diego County for over 800 teenage boys. To learn more, please visit www.boystomen.org.
