Studies show that when boys are raised without a male role model, they are nine times more likely to drop out of school, ten times more likely to abuse drugs and alcohol, and 20 times more likely to end up in jail or prison. Enter Boys to Men, which offers a group mentoring program that sends teams of volunteers into San Diego schools on a weekly basis to mentor boys struggling and seeking support.
