“We don’t think of boys as having a lot of insight into their interior lives or being able to narrate their experience. We assume that boys won’t talk. And they have learned not to, in a lot of ways. But just saying, ‘I want to hear from you,’ in an open, nonjudgmental way opens the floodgates.”
Give Boys Permission to Feel
Through play, theater, movement, vocal, writing, and storytelling exercises, Build Up Boys’ seven-level, spiral curricula equips young boys (Pre-K through 8th grade) with the critical social, emotional, and relational learning skills to combat gender pressure and to connect with themselves and others across racial, cultural and gender divides.
