POPS will be focusing on three aspects of the program that makes POPS the Club unique, and effective for change.
SELF EXPRESSION: Through writing prompts and visual art and performance exercises we find tools to discover our truths. Every year we produce a powerful anthology of some of the year’s most resonant work, and our students’ work also is published weekly on The Good Men Project as well as other magazines and websites.
SELF EMPOWERMENT : Introducing techniques from trained educators to help teens cope with stress, increase attention, recognize emotions, self-regulate, build resilience, make healthy choices, with a special focus on mindfulness.
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT: Here we provide links to videos of guest speakers–teaching artists, poets, former prisoners, politicians, lawyers, social workers and more, as well as links to other films and stories of interest to our (national) community.

“Here’s the thing about The Good Men Project. We are trying to create big, sweeping, societal changes—–overturn stereotypes, eliminate racism, sexism, homophobia, be a positive force for good for things like education reform and the environment. And we’re also giving individuals the tools they need to make individual change—-with their own relationships, with the way they parent, with their ability to be more conscious, more mindful, and more insightful. For some people, that could get overwhelming. But for those of us here at The Good Men Project, it is not overwhelming. It is simply something we do—–every day. We do it with teamwork, with compassion, with an understanding of systems and how they work, and with shared insights from a diversity of viewpoints.” —– Lisa Hickey, Publisher of The Good Men Project and CEO of Good Men Media Inc.
