Mission Statement
What Drives Us Every Day
Maine Boys to Men envisions a world where all people are equally valued, respected, safe, and celebrated.
We address the development of boys in the context of their relationships, socialization process, and cultural environments. Beginning at very early ages, boys are bombarded by narrow, confusing, and often destructive messages about masculinity.
We believe it is not the boys but rather the culture in which they live and grow that is in need of repair. While holding boys and men to a higher degree of individual accountability, we also put an appropriate level of focus on the environment—families, schools, community organizations, and peer culture—as the key agents of change in the lives of boys.
