Redefining Manhood, and Helping Men Heal & Show Up Better
Our Why
Across the world, outdated traditions and silent expectations have left men emotionally isolated and unsure of their place. Our men are told to man up & taught that vulnerability equals weakness. The result is a cycle of pain — fractured families, hidden trauma, and systems that fail both men and the people they love.

Our Roots
The DearMen was born out of Boys Champions, the flagship program of The People’s Project for Social and Climate Justice. While Boys Champions nurtures boys in schools and communities, The DearMen engages men, families, and institutions to continue that journey. Both share the dream of raising caring men who protect women, nurture families, and strengthen communities.
Whether you’re a young man, father, mentor, educator, or partner, you have a role in this awakening.
