Truckee High School’s ‘Yo, Bro!’ club aims to redefine masculinity through service and responsibility
Article here. Excerpt:
'At Truckee High School, Katie Jamison Bensley, a teacher of Human Geography, World History, and United States History, has founded a club that aims to challenge traditional definitions of masculinity and provide a healthier, more inclusive space for young men. The “Yo, Bro!” Club is a response to societal pressures that often condition boys to express themselves through aggression and dominance, reinforcing toxic masculinity.
...
The “Yo, Bro!” Club is designed to offer a fresh perspective on masculinity by focusing on community service, academic achievement, and personal responsibility. Members are encouraged to challenge stereotypes and embrace a more empathetic, emotionally expressive version of manhood. The club’s mission is clear: redefine masculinity by encouraging boys to focus on their growth as individuals and contributors to their community, rather than conforming to outdated gender norms.'
