Future
of Masculinity

This year, engage your masculine-identifying students in an impactful, engaging and meaningful session on healthy relationships and consent culture. This will be one of the most important conversations you have this year. Participate anytime throughout the month of March 2024.

Boys don’t have access to opportunities like this anywhere else.

What is it?

Since 2021, Next Gen Men has worked with schools across Canada and the U.S. to offer the Future of Masculinity Summit, a unique opportunity for boys and nonbinary students to explore the impact of positive masculinity within their lives and communities. Schools participate throughout the month of March—Women’s History Month—using Next Gen Men’s session resources to engage the next generation of men in the movement for gender justice.

Why participate?

Masculine-identifying youth need supportive spaces for self-exploration to grow into their best selves. All too often boys want to do the right thing but feel constrained by social pressures, dismissed or invalidated because of the rigid narrative of what it means to ‘be a man.’

Participants in the Future of Masculinity Summit experience a safe space to explore what they think of those messages, how they can find their own voice, and what they can do to become change-makers in their own lives, relationships, and communities.

How to participate?

Register your information in the form below. In January, you'll be invited to Next Gen Men's learning platform, which will provide you asynchronous access to this year's session recordings and supplementary resources. This access will be available for free until the end of March. Get in touch if you have any questions!
