We talked with Joe Sigurdson today! Joe is the
co-founder of the "Boys to Men Mentoring Network" a nonprofit organization
supporting boys who are challenged in today's society. With 33 centers across
the globe, the vision of Boys to Men is "to create communities of men who
teach, support, mentor and encourage boys to become compassionate and
accountable men." Joe was a teenage father. He and Nancy, his wife of 39
years, have two children and seven grandchildren. An active member of
Alcoholics Anonymous with 27 years of sobriety, he has been active in the
Mankind Project doing interpersonal work for the past 21 years. His experiences
in both these programs have given him insight to what he believes is lacking in
our society, especially teenage boys. He has worked with thousands of men and
boys around the world. He knows that inside every boy is a desire to be a good man.
Boys to Men has developed its approach in helping boys become better men by
listening, accepting and admiring them for who they are. These principles are
the result of Joe’s path through life and recovery.
