Education | Next Gen Man – Education NGM

The conversation around boys, men, and masculinity is shifting. We help organizations find solid ground.

NGM Education & Training is the learning and development hub of Next Gen Men—one of the only organizations in North America dedicated to this work, and one of the best at delivering it.

We build the knowledge, skills, and culture that schools, workplaces, sports organizations, and camps need to better support boys and men—and everyone around them. Our programs are evidence—informed, built for real environments, and delivered by experts who have been doing this work for over a decade.

Together, we help turn education into action—building healthier communities, stronger relationships, and a more equitable future.

Your environment is probably already shaped by masculinity norms—whether you can name them or not. Competition over collaboration. Emotional suppression. Behaviour that's hard to address and harder to change. When these dynamics go unchecked, the costs are real: more conflict and harassment, lower engagement, and missed chances to support the healthy development of the boys and men in your community.

We help organizations do something about it. Our training is flexible and built to fit your context—not the other way around. And if you don't see exactly what you need, we design custom programs too. Reach out and we'll build it with you.

Why
Next Gen Men

One of the only organizations in North America doing this work. One of the best at delivering it.

Next Gen Men has spent over a decade building programs that work with boys and men—not just about them. We've delivered 800+ sessions across more than 200 organizations, reaching nearly 10,000 participants across Canada and the United States. Our approach is evidence-based and grounded in four founding values—Curiosity, Care, Creativity, and Courage—that shape every session we run and every facilitator we put in a room.

Most training organizations study this work from a distance. We're inside it. Through Youth Lab we hear directly from boys about what they're actually living. Through Voice Male—one of the world's leading publications on men and masculinity—we stay connected to the thinkers pushing this field forward. That feedback loop runs through everything we build, keeping our programs sharper, more current, and more effective than anything else in the market.

CONSULTING

“Thanks for all you do and for creating this program—it is so important. This session felt like a drink of water in the midst of a desert.”

“This is the kind of education needed today. It is really inspiring, as an educator, to see the students so engaged with this material. There was a very powerful message delivered, in a way that made our group of young men want to listen.”

“The Raising Next Gen Men course is a comprehensive, engaging, and valuable training that starts the conversation around gender norms and stereotypes, diversity, the importance of mental and emotional health, and really rethinking masculinity. We would definitely recommend the Next Gen Men training to other organizations and schools.”

“Next Gen Men not only offers deeper insight into the pressures that boys face and their impact on boys’ well-being—but also provides solutions and discussions with fellow educators about how those ideas can be implemented.”

“These presentations continue to be wonderful. The right information at the right time. The pacing is great and the conversations that are sparked have been extremely impactful.”

“I feel like I’m getting a reality check on the world of boys—all boys. This should be part of every curriculum for people studying to work with kids.”
