Boys in MENS Club discover freedom in defining masculinity for themselves
Goodman partners with DAIS to offer MENS — Men Encouraging Non-violent Strength — Club in local schools together.
By Letesha Nelson, GCC president and executive director
For decades, Goodman Community Center has offered girls and young women the nationally renowned Girls Inc. program. It delivers on their mission — it’s helped countless girls become strong, smart and bold. What do we have to offer boys and young men? GCC has had a popular, locally grown boys club for decades, but it’s been at its best the last couple of years.
That’s when Goodman started partnering with Domestic Abuse Intervention Services to offer its evidence-based program, MENS — Men Encouraging Non-violent Strength — Club in local schools together. It provides a safe space where 10-12 boys in middle and high school meet to support each other in their journey to manhood.
