“OPBI is an outstanding organization — their integrated approach to meeting the needs of both girls and boys is both thoughtful and effective. I wish every community had this kind of resource.”
Michael Gurian, Author of The Wonder of Boys and The Wonder of Girls
“The programs that OPBI are providing in schools, with a focus on supporting boys and girls through their innovative gender-specific curricula, are absolutely critical to helping boys develop the skills they need to become successful men.”
Peg Tyre, Author of The Trouble With Boys: A Surprising Report Card On Our Sons, Their Problems at School and What Parents & Educators Must Do
