Boys to Men Mentoring Network

Every week, Boys to Men shows up for boys who need connection, guidance, and support. Recently, Bonsall High School Principal Angela James shared this with our team:

“You have provided our students with something many of them desperately need: trusted adults who listen without judgment, challenge them to be their best selves, and remind them that they matter.”

For the past five years, Boys to Men has supported students at Sullivan Middle School and Bonsall High School — and today we serve young men at 34 schools across San Diego County.

As more schools continue reaching out for support, we’re excited to soon launch our Sponsor a School Program — giving our community the opportunity to help bring Boys to Men mentoring to even more boys who need it most. 💙

Mentor Spotlight: John Kenny 👏

For the second year, John Kenny has served as a co-facilitator for the boys at Avela Oaks and Diegueño Middle Schools through Boys to Men Mentoring, showing up consistently to support and guide young men in our community.

To celebrate the boys’ hard work and growth this year, John treated the group to a fun day at K1 Speed 🏁 — recognizing them for stepping up and becoming the men they are capable of being.

Thank you, John, for your leadership and commitment to the next generation. 💙

🤝 Community Partner Spotlight: Just in Time for Foster Youth 🫶

Boys to Men Mentoring was proud to attend the Igniting Hope Building Community Fair, hosted by Just in Time for Foster Youth, and connect with organizations committed to supporting youth, families, and transition-age foster youth throughout San Diego County.

The fair brought together community partners, resources, and services designed to help young people build stable, successful futures. As an organization dedicated to helping boys and young men navigate life’s challenges through mentoring and community, Boys to Men was honored to be part of an event focused on connection, opportunity, and hope.

Thank you to Just in Time for Foster Youth for creating a space where community members and organizations can come together to support the next generation and strengthen pathways to success.

💚 Mental Health Awareness Month starts now—and we're launching a message that matters:
Mentorship IS Mental Health Support

At a time when young men are facing rising rates of anxiety, isolation, and disconnection, we believe something simple—but powerful:

When a boy is seen, heard, and supported, everything can change.

Through mentoring circles, leadership programs, and now expanded clinical support, we’re creating spaces where young men can build resilience, process emotions, and find belonging.

This month, we’re shining a light on the impact of mentorship—and why it matters now more than ever.
