Testimonials

“The Raising Next Gen Men course is a comprehensive, engaging, and valuable training that starts the conversation around gender norms and stereotypes, diversity, the importance of mental and emotional health, and really rethinking masculinity. We would definitely recommend the Next Gen Men training to other organizations and schools.”

Glen Harkness, Executive Director of Boys & Girls Clubs Hamilton

“Youth are not offered enough spaces to be freely who they are. One time while teaching, a mother approached my male coworker and asked him to ‘turn her son into more of a man’ because she thought he was too feminine. Afterward, I felt frustrated with myself, feeling like I failed to be a successful advocate for that child. This course has equipped me with the foundation I need for knowing where and how to start advocating for youth.”

— Melissa W., Child & Youth Worker

“I feel like I’m getting a reality check on the world of boys—all boys. This should be part of every curriculum for people studying to work with kids.”

— Tobi S., Mom of two preteen boys


Bring Next Gen Men to your students.

Sometimes it helps to bring in another voice—someone who resonates with boys and young men. We speak with young people at their level, lead the way for new kinds of conversations and inspire them to see themselves as leaders of the next generation.

 
 
“This is the kind of education needed today. It is really inspiring, as an educator, to see the students so engaged with this material. There was a very powerful message delivered, in a way that made our group of young men want to listen.”
— Jennifer L. High School Teacher
