In this group, male-identifying high school teens explore what it means to be a man—what it means to them and how their contexts of family, school, and society impact their growth into manhood. It provides a space for young men to talk about the expectations they face, the values they hold, the goals they wish to make or strive toward, and the joys and challenges of relationships, and to listen deeply to and learn from one another. As they return to this arena of bravery, vulnerability, and support, they grow their social and emotional skills and develop close, positive bonds with each other and facilitation staff/mentors.
