Here’s more about the workshops from the Crespi and Center for Excellence team.

Alan is one of GI’s first Certified Trainers. Crespi is GI’s first Model School (2005 – present). Crespi is in Los Angeles, CA, and this last year became a Gurian Center For Educational Excellence. For ten years, a co-developed “Becoming a Man” course has been taught at the school. In this workshop, Alan will explore the experience of masculinity and manhood in boys’ lives today, and how adults can help boys live wisely, empathically, and successfully. This inspiring and heartfelt workshop will include strategies, structures, and plans you can use with the diverse boys in your school, family, and community.
