Description: Boys to Men Central California Coast will be hosting the local screening of the documentary film Journeyman, in Carpinteria. Journeyman follows two boys and their mentors through two years of the Boys to Men mentoring program, exploring the simple and profound impacts each has on the other's life. It's honest, heartfelt, and reveals the depth of struggle and confusion that can take place below the surface as a young man steps into adulthood. After the screening there will be an audience discussion.
Journeyman explores why male depression and violence has been escalating in America, and how mentoring changes lives. The film focuses on the worlds of two boys, Mike and Joe. It introduces us to their families, their strengths, their limitations, and the challenges each face in overcoming obstacles as they move from boyhood toward manhood.
Boys to Men Central California Coast:
The challenge for boys in today's world is greater than ever. Boys have too few positive role models and far too many negative examples of masculinity. Gangs, drugs, Internet pornography, and teen pregnancies compound this critical time in a young man's life. Too many good boys get caught up in a path they may not have chosen if they had a mentor to help see options, weigh consequences and make positive choices.
Boys to Men Mentoring Network is a nonprofit 501(c3) corporation created to guide boys 12-17 years of age through their passage to adulthood. We provide boys with mentoring and modeling so that they learn integrity, accountability, compassion and respect. We help boys develop responsibility and guide them towards becoming healthy men.
