OUR APPROACH
At Stronger Minds Stronger Men, we create spaces on and off the field where young men can be open, seen, and supported.
Our Key Focus Areas
Peer Mentorship Through Sports
We work with boys in grades 6–10, a critical time when identity is still forming and the pressure to conform is at its peak.
We design mentorship programs that pair older high school athletes with younger boys, using sports as a bridge for connection, confidence, and trust.
Through online events, school visits, and in-person sports clinics, boys experience safe, supportive environments where conversations about identity, emotion, and masculinity can unfold naturally.
​We don’t force vulnerability, we model it. When older athletes lead with honesty, younger ones follow.
All mentors are trained and supported, because mentorship shouldn’t feel like walking in blind. We believe mentorship requires its own mentorship.
Storytelling Through Blogs & Podcasts
We amplify the voices of boys and men who are rewriting the script on masculinity.
We regularly publish stories from student-athletes across the country who speak honestly about emotional health.
Our podcast hosts conversations with athletes, coaches, and professionals who explore their evolving relationships with:
-
Emotion – what it means to actually feel
-
Independence – how isolation became mistaken for strength
-
Dominance – and the cost of always trying to be in control
Guests range from pro athletes and youth coaches to students who’ve lived through these challenges and come out stronger.
School Partnerships & Mental Health Workshops
We collaborate with middle and high schools to spark culture change from within.
We lead assemblies, classroom lessons, and advisory talks that focus on the emotional health of boys and young men.
Our custom-designed curriculum uses sports as a launchpad to talk about:
-
Gender roles
-
Peer pressure
-
Emotional expression
-
Healthy masculinity
We meet students where they are – with the language, leaders, and environments they already trust.
We train and prepare all peer mentors so they don’t feel like they’re leading blind. Mentorship requires its own mentorship.
