The Client
Boys To Men Mentoring
America’s ‘boy crisis’ is real.
America’s ‘boy crisis’ is real.
Since 1960, the rate of U.S. boys without fathers has quadrupled. Fatherless boys are 9 times more likely to drop out a school, 10 times more likely to abuse drugs and alcohol and 20 times more likely to go to jail or prison. Boys To Men is an in-school group mentoring program where teams of men meet with vulnerable young men at a critical age to “get the truth on the table.”
Empowering boys to follow their dreams.
Empowering boys to follow their dreams.
A community-based mentoring model reaches young men in middle school. Classroom ‘Circles’ are augmented by a series of programs that deliver authentic and immersive connection. As an example, Boys and Mentors spend more time together during a three-day ‘Adventure Mountain Weekend’ than a typical mentoring program provides in six months.
Genuine connection. Real results.
The acclaimed Boys To Men curriculum has been adopted in 25+ cities in the United States, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, South Africa and Europe. All of us LOMA have been proud to tell the story through a series of compelling video programs that have helped grow the program and set successive fundraising records.
“LOMA’s support is off the charts. It means so much to our boys!”
