True Allies: Finding Your Crew (boys)

For boys 12-17 years, all supplies, drinks, and snacks will be provided!

True Allies is an empowering two-hour workshop designed for boys aged 12-17. This session focuses on helping participants navigate the complex world of friendships by identifying and building strong, supportive relationships. Through interactive activities and engaging discussions, boys will learn to recognize the qualities of genuine friends and differentiate them from toxic relationships.

The workshop begins by exploring what makes a healthy friendship, emphasizing the importance of mutual respect, trust, and shared values. Participants will then engage in thought-provoking exercises to reflect on their current friendships and assess whether they align with these principles.

Boys will then participate in group discussions to share their experiences and insights, fostering a sense of camaraderie and mutual support. Facilitators will guide these conversations, highlighting key aspects of healthy relationships and providing practical tips for cultivating them.

A significant component of the True Allies workshop is developing essential social skills. Boys will practice effective communication techniques, learn to express empathy, and constructively explore strategies for resolving conflicts. These skills are crucial for maintaining strong, lasting friendships and confidently navigating social dynamics.

The session will also cover how to handle toxic relationships and the importance of setting boundaries. Boys will learn to identify red flags in friendships and develop the confidence to distance themselves from negative influences.

By the end of the True Allies workshop, participants will understand what it takes to build and maintain healthy, supportive friendships. They will leave equipped with practical tools and strategies to form their own "true allies," ensuring they are surrounded by a positive and empowering social circle. Join us for this transformative experience and discover the strength of true friendship.
