BOM teaches young men to…

• Put God first

• Love, respect and believe in themselves

• Set and achieve goals

• Be successful, productive members of society

"We dream that by exposing these youth to more positive, uplifting experiences, we can break the vicious cycle of violence and crime that plagues the community in which they live. We want to enhance their personal growth while enabling them to become strong, responsible men."

  • Make up Bed (To start day off right)
  • Do a Good Deed
  • Thank Whomever Takes Care of You
  • Do your Chores Each Day
  • Maintain Good Grades and Behavior

Group meetings

Mentor group sessions are held every Thursday at Boys & Girls Club in Sarasota Florida’s Newtown. The meetings start at 6:00 pm. The mentors, or “Uncles” as they are called, volunteer their time weekly at the meetings.

Our mentors include Police Detectives, Physicians, Retired Executives, Teachers, Financial Advisors, and more. This diversity gives us a wide base of experience and knowledge to share. All of our mentors share a common and sincere desire to help our children. We talk about topics ranging from current events in the news, peer pressure, and respecting your elders. We have guest speakers from every facet of life; police chiefs, public officials, public speakers, professional athletes, entertainers, and community members.

Join our weekly meetups every Thursday, from 6pm to 8pm.

Meeting Location: Boys & Girls Club 1790 21st St Sarasota, FL 34234
