Transformative Mentoring For Teen Boys in Asheville, NC

Nurturing Teen Boys Into Healthy Young Men

At Journeymen, we are committed to igniting the innate potential in teen boys ages 12-17, guiding them through life’s challenges, and opening doors to new possibilities.

Does your son or a teen boy you know struggle with…

Social acceptance?
A sense of identity?
Isolation?
Self-esteem?
Purpose?
Responsibility?
Overwhelm?

Do they experience challenges with…

Overuse of video games or social media?
Cyber bullying or actual physical bullying?
Not utilizing their time productively?
Vaping?

In a post-Covid digital world, most schools are not equipped with the resources to guide parents or help our teen boys.

At Journeymen, we fill the gap and help teen boys build the social and emotional intelligence they need to have healthy self-esteem to live purposeful, meaningful, and socially connected lives.

We nurture teen boys to become healthy and resilient young men by…

Creating a secure and welcoming space where boys can find their voice.
Teaching essential communication skills for boys to be socially connected and fulfilled.
Helping them identify and pursue their purpose and life aspirations.
Equipping teen boys to confidently show up in their lives in a meaningful and impactful way.

Our transformative mentoring programs focus on nourishing empowering teen boys ages 12-17 by providing a safe, non-judgmental space where they can access the support they need, safely express their feelings, and discover what kind of young men they want to become.

Testimonials

Much gratitude for all of the words of affirmation from all the men towards me. I was seen, heard, and known. I’m so grateful to each of you and being involved in this work because it’s powerful and needed.

I wish all of my close friends were in this group because I would like them to know how to be real and to show up in more supportive ways.

Journeymen has helped me to feel more confident in expressing myself. I realize that I’m creative and can learn to do what I want in my life.

Journeymen helped me deal with stress. I also felt seen and understood.

Wednesdays are my favorite day of the week because it’s when I meet with Journeymen. It’s the only place where I can truly be myself and I’m not forced to do anything I don’t want to.

I learned how to handle my anger better.

Journeymen was fun! It sounds dumb but there was a feeling of connection and respect that helped me.

My experience of the weekend was as a caterpillar building a cocoon, then fighting its way out, emerging as a fresh and new being, fluttering weakly with new wings.
