What Is a MENCircle?
The structure that changes men.
A Circle Is:
- 5–12 men — small enough for real conversation
- Meeting weekly or bi-weekly — consistency builds trust
- Guided by a Circle Lead — not a therapist, a fellow brother
- Following the MEN Brotherhood Code — a shared framework for safety and growth
- Focused on growth and accountability — not just talk
How a Circle Meeting Flows
1. Check-In
How is each brother doing? Honest, brief, personal.
2. Wins & Lessons
What improved since last meeting? What didn’t? No judgment.
3. Deep Dive
A topic, challenge, or growth area explored together.
4. Accountability Round
Each brother states his commitment for the coming week.
5. Brother’s Blessing
Encouragement, affirmation, and support for the week ahead.
Total time: 60–90 minutes.
The Circle Rules
- What is said in the Circle stays in the Circle
- No judgment
- No ego

Who Leads a Circle?
A Circle Lead is not a counselor or a pastor. He is a fellow brother who has completed the Circle Lead Orientation and demonstrated emotional maturity, consistency, and commitment to the Brotherhood Code.
His role is to:
- Facilitate the meeting flow
- Ensure the Circle rules are upheld
- Maintain the health of the group
- Support brothers between sessions when needed
- Report to his Chapter Lead or MENGlobal
