What is Journeyman?
Journeyman brings boys and men together. We create spaces where young people can feel safe to be themselves - where they’re seen, heard and accepted.
Our trained male mentors show up, listen without judgement and lead by example. Through shared experiences and genuine connection, we help boys grow in confidence, discover who they are and find their own way in the world.
Mentoring Circles
A place to belong.
Our regular local circles give boys a place to come as they are. To talk, listen, laugh, get things off their chest - or simply be part of the group.
They’re relaxed, welcoming spaces where trust builds over time. There’s no pressure and no judgement - just a consistent group of DBS-checked men who show up, listen and make space for whatever’s going on.
Rites of Passage
A weekend that stays with you.
Our contemporary Rites of Passage adventure takes boys out of the everyday and into a shared experience of challenge, adventure and reflection.
Alongside other boys and supported by a community of men, they’re given space to test themselves, see themselves differently and think about the person they’re becoming.
What boys told us after their Rites of Passage weekend.
“He has changed, it's the first time he's looked me in the eyes and hugged me in years”
“I get to be myself here”
“It saved me”
“We've got our son back”
“JGroup changed my life”
“ROPA is absolutely life changing”
“It helped me understand my fears and sadness”
Join a new group
Men are gathering in these towns to start a Journeyman circle. Each group is recruiting mentors now and keeping a waiting list for boys.
If you live nearby and want to help bring mentoring circles to your area, get in touch and we'll connect you with the men there.
