About Us

BehindBoyz 2 Men
Development Inc.

At Boyz 2 Men Development, Inc., we believe in the power of community to transform lives. Founded on the principle that “It takes a village to raise a child,” our organization is dedicated to nurturing the potential of youth through comprehensive programs and services. From fostering the next generation of leaders to providing a safe haven for foster children, we strive to empower individuals and strengthen communities.

Get Involved

Throughout the year we host free community events, after-school programs, and family workshops for the youth and families of Columbus. Some bring hundreds of people out. Some are a handful of boys and the mentors who show up for them.

Whatever's next on our calendar, you're welcome at it. Come as a family, come as a volunteer, or just come see what we're about.

Being a part of the Boyz 2 Men Development program changed my life. The mentors were amazing, always there to support and guide me. I’ve learned a lot about financial literacy and anger management.
