Scenario

When communities split over how to support young men's development

Our community center is trying to create programming for boys and young men but every planning meeting turns into an argument about whether we should focus on traditional mentorship and discipline or emotional intelligence and breaking down gender stereotypes. We all care about these kids but we can't agree on what they actually need.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

A community group is discovering they have fundamentally different beliefs about what kind of masculine development they should be fostering.
