In 2025 as an advisory board member and certified mentor, I sit with boys who’ve been told to “man up,” “don’t cry,” and hide what they feel. These messages leave boys isolated, overwhelmed, and without the emotional tools they need.
That’s the problem Boys to Men directly addresses.
When boys step into our mentoring circle, something powerful happens. Their walls come down. They talk. They listen. They grow and boys were no longer unsure of themselves—they were gaining clarity, confidence, and emotional awareness.
Take their word for it:
- “Boys to Men helps you understand yourself better.”
- “It teaches and shows how you can do better.”
- “It’s like a therapy but they know how you feel because life is hard.”
This program works. That’s why our winter goal is $50,000, and why I’ve committed to raising $5,000 personally. Your support brings weekly mentorship, nature-based rites of passage, and trained male role models into more schools across Northern California.
This work is urgent. It is transformative. And together, we can change the trajectory of boys who simply need someone to show up and believe in them.
