I KNEW THEN:
BECOMING MEN

Learn. Grow. Become.

Where young men learn to love better—starting with themselves.

ABOUT THE PROGRAM:

I KNEW THEN: BECOMING MEN is a workshop experience designed specifically for high school young men. Through culturally responsive, experiential learning, participants explore the foundations of healthy relationships, emotional awareness, and personal identity.

This is not a lecture. It is an experience.

Each workshop creates space for young men to engage honestly, reflect deeply, and practice the skills that matter most — in their relationships, their communities, and themselves.

WHY IT WORKS:

Becoming Men goes beyond traditional workshop models. Our approach is experiential, culturally grounded, and trauma informed — designed by a licensed clinical social worker with over a decade of experience working with men and young men of color.
