"The biggest realization that came to me during Rebuilding Manhood was the fact that I am not alone! I cannot say that I've ever fit the definition of what society has always told me what a man should look, act, or talk like... so being with other men who recognized that this is a prevalent issue in not only their lives but other men as well was so comforting and eye opening."

- Bentley Corbett-Wilson, Rebuilding Manhood Spring 2014 Cohort

Maybe you've felt similar to Bentley. Maybe you haven't. Maybe you're perplexed by what it means to "man up" or perhaps you've been the one telling your friends to do so for years. Either way... Rebuilding Manhood is for you!

Rebuilding Manhood is an initiative that gathers UMBC undergraduate men together for an 11-week exploration of manhood and gender in order to promote a healthy and multifaceted masculinity. The group discuss issues that are important to them and work together to rebuild individual and collective definitions of manhood that encourage strong relationships, leadership development, and challenge all forms of violence.
