How We Help
Regular local meetups of men and boys, hanging out, making fires and talking about the stuff that really matters.
Once a year there is a Rites Of Passage Weekend for new boys. We invite them to start the journey all boys must eventually go on – choosing to become a mature man.
Men also support each other. Being a man is a life’s journey and we all – men and boys – need good elders and trustworthy peers.

You make the difference. Whether you’re a man or a woman, if you care about the boys in your community, get in touch and let’s see how we can make a difference for them.
What The Boys Say
I’m a pretty angry person and I didn’t know myself at all. But doing this weekend has opened up so many thing for me. Step back, look at myself and not let anyone tell me how to deal with my situations.
It’s an experience I think everyone should do. When you get here you think ‘what a weird bunch of people’, but when you’re doing it you actually realise what the metaphors are trying to tell you.
It’s just an amazing experience; I feel like every young boy should do it. Life changing.
It feels pretty cool, actually, hanging out with older guys and seeing people of all different ages. I can see my journey. I love being with the men, talking, being round the fire.
Definitely do it, go to a ROPA and try it out; it’s the best experience.
I was nervous at the start. I didn’t show it, but I was quite nervous. Now I feel a lot calmer. I can be myself, instead of trying to act like one of the lads. Which is good.
I think anyone can do it. And I think everyone should do it. I couldn’t explain it, you have to experience it yourself.
These weekends are amazing; it’s been so much fun. People say they like XBox but Journeyman’s way better.
Go for it. Do it. It’s the best thing in the world.
