Mentoring Circles
A place to belong. Regular local circles where boys can come as they are, held by trained, DBS-checked male mentors.
What happens in a circle
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.
Circles usually meet every two weeks and are open to any boy who would like to come.
They’re relaxed, welcoming spaces where trust builds over time. There’s no pressure and no judgement - just a consistent group of engaged mentors who show up, listen and make space for whatever’s going on.
The circles provide continuous, multi-generational support, where boys are welcomed to grow over time and become part of co-creating the community’s future.
Join a new group
New Journeyman groups are forming in the towns marked orange. Each one is recruiting mentors before it opens to boys.
Live near one? Sign up to the mentor contact form to express your interest and someone will be in touch. Want this where you live? We'll help you build something that lasts.

“I like that it creates a culture of communication, in particular with other boys his own age and men who are role models.”
“Journeyman has helped me get over things that affected my concentration, make a huge amount of friends and helped me grow my social ability. I can honestly say it was the best decision I ever made to keep going on that path with Journeyman.”
