Connect. Heal. Thrive.

WE’RE THE INTENTIONAL MAN PROJECT.

We’re building a more connected future for trans men.

WHY WE EXIST

Trans men need space to heal, connect, foster brotherhood, and redefine masculinity.

Trans men face a loneliness epidemic.

experience ongoing depression

contemplate suicide

attempt suicide

These statistics are not a result of trans men being inherently mentally unwell–we are a community that is isolated and unresourced.

Most programming for trans men is focused on survival, I.M.P. is focused on trans men thriving.

OUR PROGRAMMING

I.M.P. currently offers multiple in-person experiences and virtual programming.

Since 2017, we have been hosting our flagship program, Camp Lost Boys, a transformative event that takes place several times a year, creating life-changing experiences for our community.

Camp Lost Boys

Camp Lost Boys is a traditional summer sleep-away camp for men of transgender experience over the age of 18.

Virtual Programming

Join your brothers from around the globe in topic-focused programming, hosted online.

Our programming creates brotherhood, self-love, joy, and compassion for our specific male experience.

Join our virtual and in-person community gatherings to experience for yourself.

OUR VISION

We envision a future where trans men are safe, connected, and abundantly supported.

When we are afforded affinity spaces to heal individually, we have the power to transform the collective.

What our community says about us.

  • “The best way I can describe Camp Lost Boys for other men interested is that for me, it feels like the relief of finally putting down an extremely heavy backpack that I didn’t even know I was carrying. No matter your age, length of transition, or whether or not being trans is centric to your identity, I guarantee Camp Lost Boys will provide you with the joy of brotherhood, and the space to fully exist and breathe, that you’ll seldom find anywhere else.”

  • "During the pandemic, I didn't know what I would do. I was stuck at home with my family of origin. I found the monthly meet-up and it saved my life... literally. I don't think I would still be here if not for I.M.P. events. It was so affirming being on a zoom call with over 100 guys from all over the world. I can't wait to go to a Camp Lost Boys in the future."

  • "I took the journaling 4 week workshop and participated in the monthly meditation groups led by Jay. Those two things were my anchors to positivity during 2020. It felt profound doing that deep introspective work together with guys like me."

    Nico T., 46 years old

  • "Spending time with guys of all ages and races in an extraordinary environment, in the fresh air and sunshine, and without any external distractions always makes for special connections. I love being in the mountains and I love hearing the stories of the amazing men who attend. There's plenty of laughter and learning and appreciating being alive. Thanks, Camp Lost Boys. Let's do it again!!"

    Jamison G., 75 years old

  • "Showed up alone and scared. Left with my head held high and 3 new best friends. One of the best experiences of my life."

    Charlie J., 21 years old

  • "Grounding, centering, integrating, fun. This camp made me feel more integrated as a human being. I met a bunch of awesome dudes that I’ve already started to visit around the country and have remained connected with since. Couldn’t recommend this amazing, unique experience of being around a bunch of other dudes like me."
