Joining Buoys Club means becoming part of a growing, US-focused community dedicated to uplifting men's and boys’ wellbeing, building meaningful connections, and evolving cultural narratives around men and boys. Here is what you can expect:

The Community and Atmosphere

A growing ecosystem: You will join a diverse network of leaders and allies, including professionals from business, philanthropy, government, academia, and media, who are innovating and influencing American men and boys to be healthier. The community is described as "gardeners, not gatekeepers," meaning it is always open to all who want to contribute.

A safe and intentional space: The club operates on "Shared Agreements" designed to foster deep, respectful engagement.


Focus on uplifting and collaboration: The core culture is to platform one another (abundance over competition), and to encourage follow-up questions and public care to deepen male friendships.

Events and Engagement

The main events are virtual gatherings, typically held quarterly and lasting about three hours, structured in two parts:

Part 1: Connecting + Community Building

  • This section focuses on introductions, updates, and community-building, utilizing Breakout Rooms to meet and collaborate with new people.

  • It includes "Community Uplifting," where members share wins, inspirations, and ideas.

Part 2: Ideating + Collaborating

  • This part is focused on in-depth, action-oriented discussions in various themed breakout rooms.

Topics have included:

  • Humor as a tool for connection 

  • Nature-based physical and emotional healing.

  • Research, education, and engaging schools/parents.

  • Civic engagement and advocacy.

  • Intersectionality, including BIPOC, GBTQ, and disabled groups.

  • Men’s relationship with alcohol, and coping with divorce, death, and grieving.

PLUS!

  • "Buoy Barters": You can participate in peer mentorship exchanges to quickly collaborate with and get support from other members of the community.

  • You’re among the first invited to Antenna Up’s other live and virtual events throughout the year. 

Join us! We are 500 and growing.
