Building Men Program

Building Men Program The Building Men Program is an after-school program that help boys in their journey into manhood.

We strive to accomplish this mission by encouraging the boys to become “A” man, not “The” man and begin “A” Man’s Journey. The journey includes many different opportunities to experience and discuss authentic manhood. Some of the opportunities are to attending chalk talks, listen to guest speakers, attend special events, participating in community service projects, and rite of passage trips. We te

ach how to set goals, create career/passion maps, and discuss making decision upon your “True North”. We discuss the importance of valuing and building positive relationships. Have a continuous discussion of the meaning for each word of S.I.R. (significance, integrity, and relationships) and identify men that are considered good examples of a SIR.

"We wanted to do something great for the Building Men Program," H.W. Smith PreK-8 School 8th grader Kevin Ndagijeimana shared. "We decided to focus on feeding the homeless. Cereal is shelf stable... so we came up with a cereal drive and the idea of a domino chain to get people excited about it!"

The HW Smith Building Men Program collected more than 1,080 boxes of cereal, which they lined up throughout the school building to create a giant domino chain, before donating them to the Food Bank of Central New York. We're so proud of this effort and the ways !

The power of young men!!!
