Participant handouts

Participant-facing pages for reflection and group work, not facilitator scripts. Printed sets can be requested separately; purchasing them does not grant curriculum delivery rights.

• HANDOUT 1 —GROUP EXPECTATIONS & NORMS

  The ground rules every group agrees to: confidentiality is mandatory, honesty, positive feedback only (no accusations, ridicule or criticism), full participation in discussions, and how check-ins are run.

• HANDOUT 2 —MALE TO MAN AFFIRMATIONS, CREEDS, & CODES OF CONDUCT

  The core teaching page: male-hood does not necessarily mean manhood, the Affirmations of My Manhood, and the five From MALE to MAN creeds, from self-improvement to being the master of one's fate.

• HANDOUT 3 — MANHOOD DEFINED

  A reflection worksheet built around one question — are all males men? It asks what male and manly characteristics have been poured into each participant, closing on the line: maleness is a given, but manhood must be earned.

• HANDOUT 4 — COMMITMENT CONTRACT

  Introduced in the I Commit To... workshop: each man writes down his personal commitments to himself, dates it, signs it and returns it to the facilitator — then receives it back at the closing session.

  Attendance record formatted for funder and grant reporting.

• Facilitator process notes

  How to open, hold and close a session, including what to do when the room goes quiet.
