"I would like to heartily endorse the mission of The Odyssey Program. This kind of boy-friendly work is so needed, and every boy could benefit from it."

Trinity College North

Boys' Comments:

"I learnt how to deal with a break up, what you practice you get good at and effects of drugs & how to treat women properly! It was an awesome program!!!"

"The amount of detail given was very impressive. The speakers spoke very clear and at the right pace. I don’t think the workshop should change because it was very helpful and was perfect the way it was.

I learnt how to control myself when I get angry or upset, I learnt some methods of how to avoid getting peer pressured into using alcohol and drugs, and I learnt what girls want in a relationship and that I should be myself.

I thought that the stories that were told were very interesting."

"They teach ya stuff you don’t learn in class – I learnt that you don’t always solve stuff with violence, doesn’t matter how big or small you are, and think twice before you do."

Salisbury High School

Boys' Comments:

"The gifts afterwards and the advice we were given was great. I learnt how to handle rejection, how to handle girls and the media creates many stereotypes."

"It was great talking about girls and what they want."

"Learning about relationships was great - I learnt how to be friends with girls, how to be safe and how to help people when they have a problem. I feel good at doing this because this was my first time."

"It was really cool."
