Dudes face a lot of pressure to be “the guy”—the guy who looks cool, acts tough, fits in, and never shows vulnerability. Unfortunately, being cool is not always the same as having strong character or emotional maturity.

Good Dude empowers teen guys to intentionally build a strong identity grounded in character, confidence, responsibility, and respect for themselves and others.

Participants will explore important character strengths and learn why becoming a high-character person matters for relationships, leadership, decision-making, and long-term success. Good Dudes will also learn how to balance traditionally masculine qualities—such as confidence, courage, independence, and strength—with traditionally feminine qualities—such as empathy, compassion, vulnerability, and emotional connection.

The goal is not to tell dudes who they should be. It is to help them decide who they want to become—and give them the skills to live it out every day.

Good Dudes will be High-Character Dudes!

TARGET AUDIENCE

Dudes ages 11–18 who want to strengthen their character, develop emotional maturity, build confidence, and become more intentional about the person they are becoming.
