Adventure in Manhood
www.adventureinmanhood.com
Adventure in Manhood (AIM) was developed to assist men and youth who struggle with unwanted same-sex attraction (SSA). The activities and events are designed to promote healing for the emotional issues and wounds which create SSA.
AIM fosters healthy bonding with men, through masculine activity, teamwork, and socialization. AIM challenges individuals physically, mentally, and spiritually in a safe circle of healthy men.
AIM empowers men and youth by...
- Establishing a mentor relationship. Each participant brings to the adventure a mentor who does NOT struggle with SSA (same sex attraction).
- Developing strength and overcoming fear surrounding masculine activity and association.
- Bonding with other men in healthy, non-sexual ways which foster a masculine gender identity.
Man Kind Project
http://www.mkp.org/
The Men's Center (www.themenscenter.com)
A multi-national network of male-affirmative resources, including state and local listings of men's groups and men's councils. Just one example out of dozens: The Arlington Men's Council in Virginia meets monthly to "to provide a place where men can explore what it is to be male in the late 20th century; where men can bond with each other away from doing or talking about sports; where politics or 'other' bashing is discouraged and all statements should start with 'I'; where men can work to build a rich and open emotional life, getting out of their heads and into their hearts."
This kind of bonding that such men's gatherings provide -- especially with heterosexual men -- can be immensely healing to those of us who have lived much of our lives in a place of "heterophobia."
Men's Councils
"A wonderful way to meet with other men interested in doing the kind of Men's Work described here on MenWeb. It's also a way to meet with men to become involved in a small men's group, or to start one. It's in these small groups that the REAL Men's Work, the work that will make a difference in your life, is done."
Experiential Weekends: We encourage our men to participate in the following non-denominational weekends which expedite their journey out of homosexuality:
Pathways Foundation - runs the "Pathways to Manhood" nationwide rites of passage program for adolescent boys with their fathers (or significant male). A week long bush camp experience that acknowledges and honours this major transition of a boy entering into the world of men in a healthy way. It also supports and acknowledges the profound changes that the young man's mother and father need to adjust to. Many of the MKP Australia warriors are actively involved in this important community project, both as participants and facilitators. Two of the founders are intitiated warrriors.
Home > Upcoming camps > Aims and Objectives through fun and adventure
Aims and Objectives through fun and adventure
The aim of the Pathways to Manhood programme is twofold. The first is to assist in the transition from boy to young man which is a critical period in the life of any teenage boy. The second is to inspire our boys to have a vision and reach their potential.
The Pathways programme has desired outcomes that include:
• Increased self esteem
• Improved communication and leadership skills
• Decreased harmful behaviour such as drug and alcohol abuse
• Decreased youth suicide
• Better results at school
• Healthier and more stable families
The Pathways to Manhood programme was developed by men interested and concerned about the health and wellbeing of boys and young men in Australia. These men believe that boys need a range of adult men as role models, confidants, mentors, heroes and friends who will journey with them as they develop their male identity and thus grow into balanced integrated men themselves.
•The Uncle Project
Uncle is an mentoring and activities program for local boys without active fathers, a community-based organisation committed to guiding and supporting young boys in their personal development during a challenging period of their lives.
