OUR AFTER-SCHOOL PROGRAMS:
| Boys 2 Men |
| The Boys 2 Men is for young men, ages twelve to nineteen, who are working together to solve problems without resorting to violence. The program also looks at the underlying messages our society gives adolescent males about what it means to be a man. By addressing the roots of male violence, this effective curriculum helps young men break the cycle of violence passed from generation to generation. Activities and materials help young men challenge the beliefs that lead to violent behaviors and teach them how to successfully resolve conflict. |

“A GIRLS LIFE”
Girls aged 14 – 19 years old
What Are the Goals of the Program?
A Girls Life has two primary goals:
1. To create a safe place for young women to talk, speak for themselves, hear themselves, hear one another, hear the voices of women in the community and in history, and to do so in the presence of at least one adult who is listening with respectful, caring and loving attention.
2. To help young women, both individually and collectively, develop resistance strategies to meet the difficult challenges they face in a society that does not always take their best interests into account.
Who benefits from A Girls Life?
Girls aged 14 – 19 years old from a variety of settings: local schools, recreation programs, treatment programs, and juvenile detention centers. They may be youth leaders, “problem” youth, athletes, mothers, survivors of incest, runaways, or part of a girl’s program.
Despite the diversity of their backgrounds, and whether they have been identified as “in trouble” or not, they all have one thing in common—they are young women trying to build their lives in a society that fails to provide adequately for their safety, healing, education, growth, and personal or emotional health.
Drawing on the strength, understanding, and experience of many young women, we believe this curriculum will help girls look at, heal from, and overcome the effects of the hurts, limitations, and abuse that most young women experience.
