Boys to Men Mentoring Network of Hawaii

Want to join me in making a difference for the young men of Oahu?  

The Boys to Men Mentoring  program of Hawaii has expanded to 7 schools on the island of Oahu.  During the school year we sit in weekly circles with the 100 boys in our program where we play, bond, eat, and discuss the mysterious and often confusing aspects of becoming and being a man.

It is now summertime and for the first time we want to create connective summertime experiences for our boys and volunteer mentors.  Being the newest, but biggest population in Hawaii means our expansion takes new money.

We want these boys to be exposed to new experiences and have some serious fun for the summer!   Research shows how neural networks develop through new experiences, play and deep connection.  At this phase of development it’s vital to support these boys in this way.  Making these memories and imprints of healthy masculinity that will last a lifetime!

An all-schools event of hiking, circling, games and food...pizza and movie nights for each group are the visions.  Van rentals, food, games, staffing and supplies are some of costs we are funding.   We are raising money specifically to make these outings possible.

All funds raised benefit Boys to Men Mentoring Network of Hawaii, and any donation will help make an impact.  Thanks in advance for your contribution to this cause that means so much to me.

Last October, men and youth from Boys to Men Networking centers around the country committed to joining forces and created Boys to Men USA  - a non-profit, largely volunteer-based organization whose vision is to advance the future of our communities, by preparing every young man for adulthood.


It's amazing what we have accomplished with a volunteer force, and yet, we have so much more to do to solidify the network and bring the hundreds of communities requesting our programs on board. This October, we will meet in Tucson to provide training for our leaders in partnership with the National Conflict Resolution Center, solidify our Board of Directors, approve a strategic plan, and share best practices for how our centers can continue to impact male adolescent lives and transform communities. To make this happen, we need your help.

For many of our centers, the cost of travelling across the country is not possible on their restricted budgets. The money raised in this campaign will help make sure all centers will be represented by providing resources for the men and youth who need it most.

Since the Summit will be in October, participant registration needs to be confirmed by September 29. So, we are asking for this short push to contribute what you can. Your gift will fund expert training, travel expenses, and registration fees for mentors and youth leaders. When good people come together in a good way, great things happen!

As we wait for our 501(c)(3) status to be approved, Boys to Men Networking Hawaii   has graciously agreed to be our fiscal agent. Your tax-deductible donation will be routed to Boys to Men USA to help us do the important work before us.

Rest assured, if you are aware of this campaign, it is because someone you know has been deeply affected by Boys to Men and your contribution will be greatly appreciated. Whatever you give, thank you!
