Boys to Men Mentoring Network of Virginia (BTMVA) offers young men a safe place where they can talk about what is really going on in their lives, as well as a community of mentors and peers who listen, believe in them and help them make better choices.
BTMVA is now in seven school districts (Richmond, Petersburg, Hopewell, Chesterfield, Henrico, Colonial Heights & Prince George). Every week, we are holding 35 group mentoring circles in middle & high schools as well as in the community. We even added a community circle for 18-25 yr old young men. There are over 500 young men that we see every week to offer social-emotional support.
Rite of Passage Adventure Weekend (ROPAW) are three-day events held twice a year focusing on program participants, ages 12-17. Boys are challenged and supported through a series of carefully facilitated activities designed to help them cope with the hardships they face in adolescence and their transition into adulthood.
Through our grat partnerships with Beyond Boundaries and RVA Paddlesports, we aim to provide our participants experiences both on the water and through physical, outdoor challenges. We offer these events throughout the year.
