Welcome. You’re just a few clicks away from helping the boy in your life become better equipped to navigate the tween and teen years! Click the tabs to learn more about EQUIP BOYS.
EQUIP BOYS is a collective of parents/guardians, friends, and mentors helping boys make sense of manhood. It’s led by CJ Wetzler, a local volunteer mentor who loves helping young people live a better story.
The 2024 focus is connection. Connection with...
Ideally, EQUIP BOYS will meet as a group once a month for an outdoor sporting activity, followed by a meal together and conversations about life. Additionally, EQUIP BOYS will gather to meet temporary or reoccurring community needs and/or for “field trips” such as fishing, camping, cliff jumping, etc. Lastly, CJ is generally available for one-on-one and small-group mentoring.
The experience culminates (around April 2025) with a rite-of-passage experience in which the boys can leave their regular/daily environment for someplace adventurous and fun. It’ll be a time for connection, memories, and sharing encouraging words.
Aloha! I was fortunate to grow up surrounded by healthy and loving adults—family, neighbors, teachers, coaches, mentors—who encouraged, challenged, and inspired me. It's an honor to be able to pay it forward and mentor a small group of tweens and teens on Maui.
