As the Men & Boys’ Fund Distribution Committee reviews grant applications for this year, we wanted to take a look back at a grant that was awarded during the Fund's 5th anniversary year! In 2021, a $1,500 grant was awarded to the Boys & Girls Club of Bristol for their Passport to Manhood program. This program, which is still running, focuses on male youth, ages 8-12, in order to connect them to positive male role models and facilitate workshops that provide knowledge on topics that will be helpful as they grow older.

The workshops covered things like coping mechanisms for stress, healthy lifestyles, the importance of good hygiene and physical activity, and responsibility. The 14 week program culminated in an etiquette dinner at the DoubleTree, where the participants were accompanied by their female counterparts, and the young men were responsible for the night. Setting table placements, opening doors, and seating the attendees.

Here are some pictures from the beginning of that event!
