Boys TO Men Mentoring Network

Boys to Men Mentoring Network, founded in 1996 by Craig McClain, Herb Sigurdson, and Joe Sigurdson, is a non-profit organization based in La Mesa, California. Their mission is to empower teenage boys by providing safe spaces for them to develop positive and healthy relationships with mentors. Through their community-based mentoring programs, Boys to Men Mentoring Network aims to challenge young men to reach their fullest potential and become good men. They also organize events like the 100 Wave Challenge, where surfers come together to raise funds for the organization and support their cause.

With a focus on fatherless teenage boys, Boys to Men Mentoring Network recognizes the higher risks these boys face in terms of crime, dropping out of school, and entering the prison system. Their mentors show up at middle schools, high schools, and community centers every week to listen, encourage, and empower these boys. By targeting the critical window of middle and high school, Boys to Men Mentoring Network strives to make a positive impact on the lives of these young men, helping them follow their dreams and become successful individuals.
