" As our world continues to get shaken up, our
young men are in need of guidance and connection now more than
ever before. Simultaneously - the world is in dire need of
mature, healthy, confident young people to lead us into a
brighter future.”
2023 Scholarship Fundraiser:Help us help the
boys for the upcoming Young Mens' Rites of Passage!
OUR MISSION: To build compassionate,
connected, and resilient young men through wilderness rites of
passage, ongoing mentorship, and community engagement. Our rites of
passage programs mark, celebrate, and support a healthy transition
from boyhood to manhood.
WE BELIEVE: All boys are born with unique gifts for
the world. Rites of Passage transforms the fires of adolescence into
warmth, purpose and direction to support them in discovering,
embodying and sharing their gifts.
WHAT WE ARE OFFERING:
A 3 day, 2 night
wilderness immersion on the majestic slopes of Mt.Brennan (Eastern Sun
Sanctuary) guided by caring, experienced mentors, teachers and elders

HOW YOU CAN HELP:
Your monetary donations are helping us provide scholarships for families where finances would otherwise be a barrier to their son's participation. Any donations that go above and beyond applications for this program will create a scholarship fund for future programs and offerings.
"When we talk about rites of passage we mean a time when we recognize and see young people for the beauty they bring into the world. The rite is to get them to wake up to their own dream, their own story." Luis J. Rodriguez

“A boy cannot turn into a man without the active intervention (and guidance) of older men.”
– Robert Bly
