Our communities provide boys a safe space and support them as they openly share their feelings, thoughts, and challenges. We aim to help teenage boys recognize their emotional intelligence by helping them get to know themselves and trust themselves. In which, we help the boys learn to understand and manage their own emotions in a positive way that will provide them the opportunity to change their direction in life and learn to be responsible and accountable young man as they enter adulthood.Boys with academic and/or behavior issues are encouraged by the school administration to attend Boys to Men (BTM) in-school groups during school hours; one hour per week.
