Boys 2 Mentors Student Workbook

About this book

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.
