After-school and evening meetings are voluntary, but in-school meetings are required by school administration and focus on serving boys with behavior or academic problems.Boys to Men hopes to provide participants with support while teaching them about compassion, integrity, and accountability. All meetings follow a 32-week curriculum that helps boys cope with problems they face at home and in school.
