Challenges boys face seem greater than ever before

picture 124Challenges boys face today seem greater than ever before. Boys to Men Mentoring Network was created to guide boys aged 13-17 through their passage to manhood. The organization believes that boys have had too few positive role models and far too many negative examples of masculinity. Its mission is to help boys become better men.

One of their programs is a Rites of Passage Adventure Weekend, which organizers hope to bring to the Nanaimo region.

We speak with Grant Waldman and David Cordes, directors with Boys to Men Canada.
