Boys2Men Alumni Testimonial
One of our 2016 B2M program graduates recently reflected upon his experience:
B2M was always a good check-in point of my week. The program allowed not only myself, but my friends to vent and talk about the challenges of life. Through the teachings and lessons with Chris, Larry, Allen, Mrs. Debra, etc. I got the chance to unwind, have fun, l earn about what it takes to be a strong man, and also to l earn about God. Overall, my experience has been nothing but positive. I always felt supported in the life path I was on. I was taught accountability along the way - not just from the mentoring adults, but also from the older students in the program. I watched the older students move on and persevere. When my turn came to step out and achieve my dreams, I wanted to set a good example and do the right things for myself as well as the younger members and all
the adults who sacrificed their time for me. To this day, the accountability of B2M remains. My B2M friends have all chosen different paths. College was the path for most of us. Everyone has earned or is finishing up a degree in their respective career fields. I am a graduate of Ohio State University with my degree in social work. I recently started an entry level job at a foster care agency called, T he Buckeye Ranch in Columbus, Ohio. I still keep in touch with the Scott family and the others who made B2M a positive experience. Everyone in the program has different needs and utilizes the group in different ways, but overall I can confidently say that, when asked, there is a positive take away from each member. I encourage the future young men to use B2M as a guide to self reflect and make sure you stay on track to achieve future success. Chris and Mrs. Debra have done a great job and will continue to do so. They are truly here for everyone. If you are blessed with the opportunity, I advise you to utilize them. They are a significant part of my success growing up and moving forward.
