Man Cave Academy provides unique training programs that are designed to share our experience, learnings, and methods with adults in the lives of boys we work with so that they can continue our impact through conversations that make a difference.

We offer a range of personal and professional development opportunities for educators, parents, youth workers, coaches or anyone interested in supporting young people on their journey to adulthood.

It's an all too common story that
we hear regularly...

Our boys are disengaged...
Our boys lack emotional maturity...
Our boys lack resilience...
Our boys can’t share their thoughts and 
emotions openly and honestly.

This is where we can help!


After working with over 30,000 boys across Australia, we have learned a thing or two about how to really engage boys in meaningful conversations. Because it’s these impactful moments that provide an opportunity for boys to reach their full potential, develop healthy relationship skills and pave their own path forward as thriving adults who contribute to their community.

We have seen the impact our programs can have in just a single day, but we recognise that to make lasting change, boys need the support of their entire community. The adults and role models that surround them help mold and shape their identity on a daily basis.

OUR PROGRAMS

The Art of Engaging Boys

The Art of Engaging Boys

This training program will provide you with the unique tools and techniques we use at the Man Cave when working with and talking to boys and young men.

We share the theory, tools and mindsets that our world-class facilitators use in our impactful programs so that you will be empowered to continue the magic as you engage with them.

We offer this program in 2 formats:

"Very engaging and informative on tips and tricks for engaging with boys"

"A chance to understand how best to connect with boys and feel empowered to make a difference in their lives"

"What an amazing experience this course has been. Not only to apply it to my students but also in everyday life. Honouring, setting values and even doing the icebreakers. Keep up the great work. It has been a blast!"

What's going on for boys...

What's going on for boys...

and what can we do about it?

This 60-90 minute presentation outlines the current challenges teenage boys are facing and some of the key tools, strategies and mindsets that The Man Cave facilitators use to combat these and facilitate boys’ journey to manhood.

Our presenters set the context of what our facilitators are seeing in the workshops we run with teenage boys and outline the current challenges we believe boys are facing.

We cover some key insights and original research on:
  • What’s going on with boys right now
  • What’s happening in a teenage brain
  • The key principles that govern how we address challenging behaviours and mindsets
We offer this presentation in 2 different formats In-Person and Online via Zoom

"I was initially sceptical about the presentation however I was very impressed by the content. I think it was very clear the intentions and goals of Man Cave. Delivery of presentation was engaging also."
