Hi Lisa…
Interesting and common challenge.
Mentoring a real man in today's world.
Every young man is unique. One shoe definitely does not fit all.
I do not know of a rite of passage group that might fit the need.
What does it mean to be a man in today’s world?
I think we need to know where we are pointing before drawing a map.
What are the skills, wisdom and capacities needed to be such a thing?

Would be good reading for you and your partner to help you formulate your own views.
How can you draw a map if you don’t know where you are going?
