Comprehensive, engaging, and valuable
Executive Director of Boys & Girls Clubs Hamilton
The Raising Next Gen Men course is a comprehensive, engaging, and valuable training that starts the conversation around gender norms and stereotypes, diversity, the importance of mental and emotional health, and really rethinking masculinity. We would definitely recommend the Next Gen Men training to other organizations and schools.
The foundation I needed
Child & Youth Worker
Youth are not offered enough spaces to be freely who they are. One time while teaching, a mother approached my male coworker and asked him to ‘turn her son into more of a man’ because she thought he was too feminine. Afterward, I felt frustrated with myself, feeling like I failed to be a successful advocate for that child. This course has equipped me with the foundation I needed for knowing where and how to start advocating for youth.
A reality check on the world of boys

I’m taking the Raising Next Gen Men course. It’s really good and not what I was expecting. I feel like I’m getting a reality check on the world of boys—all boys. This should be part of every curriculum for people studying to work with kids.
