Boys To Men North Central Arizona
Boys to Men Mentoring Network is a nonprofit 501(c)3 corporation created to guide boys 13-17 years of age through their passage to manhood.

Our program has five components: * A workshop for new staff to prepare them for mentoring teenage boys. * A Rites of Passage Adventure Weekend that supports the boys in bringing out their feelings in a safe way and learning what it means to be a man, and for many is a turning point experience. * On-going twice monthly group mentoring that deepens the bonds and commitments declared out of the Weekend. * School Based Mentoring where our trained mentors meet weekly in a group setting with select students to apply the Boys to Men principles of Listen, Accept, and Encourage. * Family Support to strengthen and deepen relationships with families involved with our mentoring services.

Yavapai Big Brothers Big Sisters

In a world where our social fabric has frayed--children raised by only one parent or neither, sinking graduation rates, rampant drug addiction, and decaying values --the need has never been more urgent for Big Brothers Big Sisters. Mentoring is the single most effective way to positively impact the life of a child. Research tells us that compared to all other youth their age, boys and girls matched with a Big Brother Big Sister or Family Match are, on average, 40% less likely to get arrested. In addition, compared to their peers, matched youth are: -46% less likely to start using drugs -27% less likely go start drinking -33% less likely to skip a day of school Over the last year, referrals from teachers, counselors, youth workers, parents and law enforcement officials have grown to fifty children a month. Today, there are hundreds of children in every school and every community throughout Yavapai County and Sedona who are not yet matched with a "Big" and are on our waiting list. One of them may be waiting for you!
