Visit our Events Calendar to learn when and where the next Mentor Facilitation Training will take place.
This two-part series delves into Boys to Men Tucson's Healthy Masculinity Group Based Mentoring Model, designed to foster nurturing, intentional environments that cultivate honest and mindful relationships among boys, men, and masculine-identified individuals. The training emphasizes a healthy masculinity lens, promoting inclusivity and supporting BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) individuals and diverse identities throughout.
Participants will gain a comprehensive understanding of our programming and explore how Western socialization influences masculinity. The training critically examines the detrimental effects of outdated and stereotypical masculinity norms and employs a trauma-informed approach to develop strategies that encourage love, healing, and active support for the youth in our community. Join us to enhance your understanding and engagement in this transformative work.
This training welcomes everyone, especially those eager to mentor the youth we serve during the upcoming school year (September 2024 - May 2025). As the demand for mentors continues to rise, we urgently need your involvement to make a significant impact. Your participation will help bring essential support to those who need it most. Join us in this vital work and make a difference in the lives of young people in our community.

Boys to Men Youth Core Mentor
This work is important to me because it has helped me through some hard times... provided guidance, support and a sense of community. As a youth core mentor, I facilitate the program in middle and high schools and get to see first hand the impact it has on the kids.
