COVID-19 for Youth: Staying Active
Social distancing won’t keep us from supporting the next generation of men. We’re offering Next Gen Men as an online program experience for boys in grade 7/8.

One of our youth program participants said the cancellation of the NBA was when he personally realized how significant COVID-19 was going to be. In the weeks that followed, each of the sports teams that he played on cancelled their seasons as well, leaving him with fewer opportunities for physical activity than he’s ever had.
We know that sports play a big role in many boys’ lives, and we know that exercise and mental health go hand-in-hand. That’s why our second youth survival guide is about staying active in the midst of COVID-19. Take a look and share with a young person you know.
