Boy Referral Form
We support teenage boys to navigate adolescence so they grow into confident, connected, and self-aware young men. Our vision is a generation of young men who know who they are, take responsibility for how they show up, and strengthen the world around them. 

We want to support your young person however we can. This form is for anyone who wants a teenage boy to be considered for one of our mentoring programmes. 

You can also fill this out for yourself if you are 18 or older.

Please note that we receive all submissions to this form and will aim to reply to your inquiry within 10 working days.

What we offer:
Please read this carefully - We have three main offerings at this time, all for boys aged 13-19:

  • JGroups are fortnightly mentoring circles where teenage boys can reliably access skilled male mentorship. These are safe and open spaces for boys and young men to share their thoughts, feelings, and experiences. These forums promote healthy expression and communication, allowing them to address issues they may be facing and learn the skills they need to navigate their life situations. Our active JGroups are in Bristol, Hereford, Stroud, Frome, Bournemouth and Norwich. 
  • Our Contemporary Rites of Passage event. This is a transformational weekend experience for teenage boys and young men. Participants are invited to take a step towards becoming the man they want to be. They will join a group of peers for a fun, life affirming, and nourishing weekend held by community of carefully selected male mentors. Click Here to access tickets and dates for the next Contemporary Rites of Passage weekend. If you would like us to contact you about this, please continue with the form below.
  • We hold Day Events at each of our JGroup locations. These are one-day events where teenage boys and young men are invited to reflect on their life and how they show up every day. They come away with a better understanding of themselves. Our day events are associated with our active JGroups. You will need to be able to go to Bristol, Hereford, Stroud, Frome, Bournemouth and Norwich. to drop off and pick up your young person to and from the day event. 
  • Each of our JGroups also hosts socials. These are a chance for teenage boys to engage with mentors in a more indirect, casual, and fun way. The activities range from indoor bouldering or bowling to an afternoon at the park just hanging out. JGroup socials are an easy way for boys to get involved with the local Journeyman community and benefit from our mentoring approach. Socials have greater capacity than circles so this may be on offer even if there is a waiting list for the circle.

Which programmes are you interested in? *
You can select more than one.
Required
If you selected 'A JGroup', which JGroup(s) are you interested in?
The young person must be able to get to and from the venue on a weekday evening. Some of our JGroups are in the start-up phase and are not ready to welcome boys just yet. If you are interested in one of those we'll put you on the waiting list.
