Welcome to Boys Council!
Boys Council is a strengths-based group approach to promote boys’ and young men’s safe, strong and healthy passage through pre-teen and adolescent years.
Are you an adult who cares about boys? Are you wondering how to encourage boys and young men to:  act safely show respect in their relationships develop a healthy perspective see other’s points of view use good judgment and find their goals and dreams and go for them?
You will find that Boys Council meets a core developmental need in boys for strong, positive relationships. In this healthy and structured environment, boys and young men gain the vital opportunity to address masculine definitions and behaviors and build their capacities to find their innate value and create good lives, individually and collectively!
“If we really want to rescue boys, protect boys, promote boyhood then our task must be to find ways to reveal and challenge this ideology of masculinity, this facile boys-will-be-boys model and to erode boys sense of entitlement. Because the reality is that this ideology is the problem for both girls and boys.
"The question, to my mind, is not whether or not we’re hard-wired, but rather which hard-wiring elements do we choose to honor and which we choose to challenge.”
