Next Gen Men (NGM) is a Canadian leader in engaging and empowering boys and men on topics like mental health and gender-based violence.

This course, Raising Next Gen Men, is for parents, educators, coaches, youth workers, and anyone who understands how much difference one, well-equipped mentor can make in young people’s lives. It will help you understand how boys shape, and are shaped by, a wide array of gender-based cultural norms, by delving into academic research in the field, young masculinity in popular culture, and real stories about boys.

This course will:

1. Increase your capacity to form strong connections with boys and engage them in meaningful topics
2. Better understand the experiences and perspectives of adolescent boys, and feel more confident in yourself as a touchpoint for positive masculinity
3. Stop feeling uncertain or overwhelmed, and start making a difference

Raising Next Gen Men is a deep dive into the mindset of transformation. You can expect:

1. Four modules broken down into 14 key lessons (approximately 8 to 10 hours of learning)
2. Professional-calibre research and best practices, built on NGM’s vast experience and the foundations of our youth program
3. Answers to questions like: “How do boys learn to be boys?”, “How do I respond to toxic masculinity?”, and “How can I help boys to connect more meaningfully with each other?”
4. Interactive exercises, digital multimedia and prompts for further reflection
5. Stories and insights shared directly from Next Gen Men’s youth facilitators and programs
6. Additional resources and recommendations for further readings
