This student workbook is designed to be used as a companion to the
Boys 2 MENtors(TM) curriculum manual, which contains the lessons from
which the worksheets are drawn and the information necessary to use the
worksheets effectively. Boys 2 MENtors(TM) is a leadership program for
middle and high school boys. This curriculum manual comprises 50
interactive sessions that address social emotional learning, leadership,
and Common Core standards and that provide opportunities to link to the
school day curriculum. Based on research on male adolescent development
as well as direct classroom experience and application, the program has
been designed to be facilitated over the course of a school year,
engaging young men mentally and providing a distinctly physical
component, sometimes light, sometimes rigorous. This Student Workbook
offers an opportunity for students to take ownership of their
participation and build a body of responses to and reflections on themes
relevant to their lives. The title, Boys 2 MENtors(TM), refers to the
development of young men into positive male role models--future mentors
for other young men--and to the role of facilitators as exemplars and
guides for boys participating in the program.
