Founder & CEO

Aaron Boldman

Aaron has worked with struggling teens for more than 30 years. He began as a public school teacher in California, then served as an educator in several Christian boarding schools before founding Future Men in 2002.

He has been an educator since 1989 and a school administrator since 1998. He is also a Missouri state-licensed wildlife rehabilitator, which is why injured raccoons, owls and deer are a normal part of life on campus.

With nine sons of his own, Aaron understands the urgency parents feel to prepare their boys to be men. His charge to every student comes from 1 Kings 2:2:

“Be strong, therefore, and prove yourself a man.”

Three pillars, one team

The same men show up in all three.

Future Men is built on Christian discipleship, accredited academics and trade work. The team is small, so the men your son goes to church with on Sunday are also the men who supervise his study during the week.

  1. 01

    Christian discipleship

    Mentors live on campus, share daily life with your son and go to church with the students every Sunday. Bible studies, vulnerable one-on-one conversations and consistent accountability are the minimum standard.

    Accredited academics

    Founder Aaron Boldman has been an educator since 1989. Mentors supervise study and tutor students in coursework accredited by Cognia, so your son can catch up and work toward a diploma in hand.

    Trades & apprenticeships

    Every Tuesday and Thursday, every student works at a local business learning a trade. He learns to show up on time, take direction from a boss and see the job through.

A yearlong internship

Our mentors.

Mentors carry daily life at Future Men. They come from all over the United States for a yearlong internship, live on campus with the students and serve God in this work.

They supervise, teach and tutor, cook and clean, and show your son what a godly man looks like. They admonish, encourage and hold him accountable every day. They are, in the best sense, older brothers.

Every adult on campus completes the background checks required by Missouri law before working with students. Safety and oversight
