Boys: Are you ready for your adventure?
Are you trying to figure out what's important in life?
Are you deeper than most people know?
Are you looking for something more?
Are you ready to become a leader and a team player?
Are you looking for men you can trust and rely on?
You're not alone...We're waiting for you.
-
A circle of boys and men who are committed to taking the journey together.
-
A safe place to ask the tough questions and get straight answers.
-
Guidance you can trust, push against, and rely on.
Our Adventure Passage Weekend is the threshold. It's a wild ride. Days and nights are packed with challenges, mystery, games, and direct talk between men and boys.
BTM Community Events have what young men want in their lives: lots of fun; some challenges and positive male energy! Every other weekend we go camping, play games, splat-ball, frisbee golf, and more. We do community service work that ranges from arbor care to animal rescue to Boys and Girls Club service projects and more. Each activity closes with chow and hang out time where boys can talk about the events, emotions, and experiences of their lives. See our Activities Calendar.
The Mentor Program offers men many easy ways to serve boys in groups or one-to-one. We learn from each other while we play and work. Together we develop self actualization, leadership, community service and emotional literacy.
What will you get out of this?
You’ll have fun and get stronger. We’ll challenge you physically, mentally, and spiritually.
You’ll start to know your own power, and you'll meet friends who are interested in going somewhere.
What happens besides the weekend?
After you complete your Passage Adventure Weekend you are called a Journeyman. We have ongoing activities that include fun events, social service, and skill building. You can develop mentoring relationships in group activities. Some one-on-one mentors are available also.
What is a mentor?
A mentor is a personal ally and supporter. A mentor is not a teacher or surrogate parent. Some young men think of them as uncles or big brothers. Boys to Men screens our volunteers carefully. We’re looking for good men who are already successful in their own lives. Then BTM provides a training for mentors called “Reclaiming your teenage fire” where we share what we know with our mentors: that young men are already excellent, and that mentors get as much as mentees from their friendships.
How old do I have to be?
We accept boys 13 through 17 who are ready to commit to taking this next step into manhood.
Now GO FOR IT!
