- Paul Dayman and Damien Litchfield from Anglicare’s Boys Will Be Men program in Lilydale, Victoria. Boys Will Be Men is a school-based mentoring/adventure therapy program for boys aged nine to 12 who will benefit from an adult male focus, promoting positive social skills, ability to manage intense emotions and to help in improving self-esteem. It is designed to assist the boys in their transition from primary to secondary school and boyhood to manhood. The program brings together men from the community who volunteer their time to be positive and non-judgemental role models for a number of boys in a weekly program. By building relationships and sharing activities and personal stories these men provide reference points for the boys as they travel their own path to manhood.
