champions of healthy manhood:
allyship program
“Champions has changed my life in so many ways. I am a better partner to my wife. I am a better father to my children. I am a better friend. I am a better human. I can’t wait to continue this journey.”
– Dan Noe, Champion of Healthy Manhood
For men brave enough to be vulnerable & courageous enough to take a stand.
Our Champions of Healthy Manhood allyship program creates space for local men to bond and connect as they pursue, model, and promote healthy manhood. Projects include podcasting, allyship events, and mentoring young men and boys from local schools and universities. The relationships we create, the stories we share, and the impact we have in the community make this a unique and transformational experience.
Over the course of 4 months, these leaders develop and practice skills that build stronger relationships and safer communities. We focus on authenticity, empathy, vulnerability, and advocacy.
Our Champions hope their stories will raise awareness and inspire other men to join our Healthy Manhood movement.
Our Season 1 Champions wrote heartfelt letters reflecting on how our culture’s traditional definition of masculinity disconnects us from our hearts, prevents us from being vulnerable and asking for help, and programs us to do things that harm our health and relationships.
