Blueprint catalyzes a global conversation about the state and impact of
men in the world. Together, we are mobilizing men to be a force for good.
We enhance the well-being of men and communities, creating a safe space for men to share their stories with others who are willing to listen and respond with empathy. We are changing lives and transforming communities.
Blueprint is a university-based nonprofit organization that strives to impact society by improving men’s well-being and enhancing their positive contribution to communities. Through research, programs and storytelling we transform the stories of men and those who relate to them. We provide men with a Blueprint for reshaping their role in families and communities.

We catalyze dialogue that inspires men and communities. We galvanize voices to inspire government and stakeholders to facilitate transformational investment in research. We turn thought into action, working at the intersection of university, community and industry to change the systems that foster harmful behaviours.
Blueprint is committed to embracing diversity, promoting equity and fostering a culture of inclusion, mutual respect and reciprocity. We are allied to all genders in our work to positively influence the culture of men in service of families, communities and the world. Blueprint’s values reflect the way we work and describe our philosophy for decision-making and engaging with clients and partner organizations.
We are driven by our united passion to creating a sustainable, connected, and compassionate world.
Our Advisory Board fuels our mission. Bolstered by their own unique voices and experiences, they are leading the way to transforming the cultures of masculinities.

“The idea of an applied research system thinking about men’s health and wellbeing is a rarity. Blueprint is providing thought leadership about how you engage men in pro-social masculinity and actionable tools others can use.”
Gary Barker, Promundo
“The #MeToo movement has so much potential to bring positive change to this world but it can not be done in isolation. What excites me about the work being done at Blueprint is that by looking after the male populations in our communities we have a chance to embrace and address the #MeToo movement at the same time.”

“Blueprint is bringing a good model – men and women sitting in circle together.”
Paul Lacerte, Moosehide Campaign
We cannot do out in the world, that which we cannot embody in our home. Our team is leading the charge to demonstrate a new aspirational masculinity with grace, humility and sheer dedication to creating a better world.
With generous and unwavering support from our partners we create healthier communities.
