Boys to Men Mentoring Network‘s (BTM) mission is to build communities of male role models who, through group mentoring at schools, encourage and empower teenage boys to follow their dreams. It provides caring male mentors to 840 fatherless and/or disconnected boys ages 12-17 years old in San Diego County. In San Diego, 49,937 boys are growing up in fatherless homes.
Approximately 75% of the boys we serve are growing up without a father or a mentor at home. We work with partners, such as The Rising Foundation, to deliver four programs to engage boys in our communities: In-school Group Mentoring Circles, Open Community
Groups, Summer Surf Nights and Adventure Mountain Weekends.
Thanks to this grant we are able to expand our limited sleeping space
by building four to six sleeping quarters in a six-month period in Fall 2019 at the BTM Legacy Ranch. This project, the Friends of Legacy Ranch Sleeping Quarters Project on Mt. Palomar, will provide vitally needed additional indoor sleeping options for our AMW (Adventure Mountain Weekend) participants.
