The Mission
Boys for the Better, based in Massachusetts, works to empower boys. Some people might think that boys have enough power, but Boys for the Better thinks that to create a more just and equitable society, one that is rooted in respect and dignity for everyone, it is imperative to provide the right tools.
Teen and preteen boys face unique social, emotional, cultural and educational challenges. By using the media closest to them—from Fortnite to Instagram, meme-making to movies—Boys for the Better helps male-identifying students explore and challenge media representations that limit their sense of self and others, while equipping them with the tools to improve their schools and communities for the better.
