Real leadership doesn’t just point the way forward…it walks with you.

“I’ve got your back” isn’t just a phrase here.

It’s a promise we live out every day.

Because growth happens faster when a young man knows he’s not walking alone.

Accountability isn’t punishment…it’s development.

These push-ups were more than physical work…they represent a standard that we uphold within our organization.

Because what you tolerate becomes what you become.

At Boys to Men, we build disciplined leaders.

This past Friday Night Session we hosted a powerful Parent Action Committee (PAC) session designed for the parents of the young men we serve.

The focus was simple: Building a deeper understanding between parents and their sons.

Through guided conversation and intentional role play, our coaches stepped into the perspective of the young men…voicing the questions, concerns, and thought patterns that often go unspoken at home.

What unfolded was powerful.

Moments of clarity. Moments of tension. Moments where assumptions were challenged on both sides.

Because sometimes what a parent is hearing isn’t what a young man is actually trying to say and vice versa.

This session created space for both perspectives to be seen, heard, and better understood.

And that matters.

Within our program, we don’t just invest in young men…we also aim to invest in the families around them.

Because growth at home requires growth in communication, empathy, and understanding on both sides.

This past Friday night, our session centered on one of the most shaping influences in a young man’s life: Fatherhood.

Throughout the month of April, we’ve been leaning into honest conversations around relationships with fathers…

Whether present, absent, strong, strained, or somewhere in between…and how those experiences shape identity, emotions, and leadership.

During this session, our coaches broke out into small groups with our young men to create space for real dialogue.

Not surface level answers, but real unpacking…questions, frustrations, unspoken thoughts, and the weight some of these young men carry quietly.

The goal isn’t to dwell in what was, but to understand it, process it, and grow from it.

Because becoming a man isn’t just about age…it’s about awareness, healing, and responsibility.

We are committed to developing young men holistically…mentally, emotionally, and relationally.

So they can grow into leaders, husbands, and fathers who break cycles and build something better.

It’s easy to get caught up in what other people think about you.

Their opinions. Their labels. Their assumptions.

But the truth is…That’s not what defines you.

What matters most is how you see yourself.

In BoysIIMen, we remind our young men that they were created with purpose.

Not by accident. Not randomly. But intentionally.

And whether they fully understand that purpose yet or not…their job is to keep showing up and growing into it.

Because every day is an opportunity to move closer to the life you were built for.

There’s a point in life where the question shifts.

It’s no longer just “What can I do?”

It becomes “What was I made to do?”

Our guest panelist, Andrew Green, challenged our young men to think deeply about that intersection:

Their gifts. The needs around them. And how those two things connect.

Because often, purpose isn’t as far off as it seems…it’s found right there, in the overlap.

What are you naturally good at?
What do people consistently come to you for?
And where is there a real need you can meet?

Those questions matter.

But even more important than finding the answer is seeking clarity with intention…through reflection, growth, and faith.

Because when those things align, direction becomes clearer.

Not overnight…but over time.

There’s a lot you don’t know yet.

That’s not a weakness…that’s an opportunity.

The question is…What are you doing about it?

Our guest panelist, Todd Hufford, let our young men know that the ones who separate themselves aren’t just working…they’re learning, growing, and developing when nobody’s watching.

This is the season to build.

04/16/2026

A lot of people are smart…

But they don’t know how to apply what they know.

That’s why our guest panelist, Dr. Shawn Benzinger, encouraged our young men to do something simple…but uncomfortable:

Go talk to people who’ve actually done it.

Take them to lunch. Ask questions. Listen.

Because wisdom doesn’t just come from information…it comes from experience.

04/15/2026

What you have right now might not seem like much…

But how you handle it? That matters more than you think.

Our guest panelist, Todd Hufford, talked about responsibility…

Not just for the big moments, but for the small ones too.

Because the truth is, the way you show up with what you’ve been given today…determines what you’re trusted with tomorrow.

And if you really think about it…somebody gave you an opportunity.

A parent. A grandparent. A coach. A neighbor.

Somebody showed you favor.

The question is…what are you going to do with it?

And as you grow, the real challenge is this: Will you be the one to give that same opportunity to someone else?

Some conversations aren’t easy…but they’re necessary.

At our most recent BoysIIMen session, we leaned into one of those conversations—Fatherhood.

Our coaches and cadets opened up about their relationships with their fathers…

For some, that meant sharing lessons and gratitude.
For others, it meant speaking on absence, pain, and unanswered questions.

The conversation wasn’t always easy…But it was real.
 But it’s through this transparency that we create space for healing, understanding, and deeper brotherhood.

We also had our Lifetime Members sit in on a powerful panel with three leaders:

- Todd Hufford (CFO & Owner of Conner Insurance) - Andrew Green (Assistant Executive Director of Shepherd Community Center) - Dr. Shawn Benzinger (Owner of On Health & Humarian)

They shared their journeys both personally and professionally…and poured into our young men with wisdom on decision-making, growth, and living a purpose-driven life.

This is what BoysIIMen stands for…

Creating space for real conversations. 
Providing access to real leaders. 
And helping young men grow into who they’re capable of becoming.

04/10/2026

None of this happens without the men who choose to show up.

The ones who give their time, share their wisdom, and genuinely care.

We don’t take that lightly…we appreciate every single one of you.
