Boys Lead Foundation

A lot of boys are not asking for help loudly.

Some show it through silence.
Some show it through anger.
Some show it through distraction.
Some show it through isolation.
Some show it through “I’m fine.”

That is why we are starting the conversation in Melissa.

Boys Lead Foundation wants to listen to parents, families, educators, coaches, mentors, and community leaders about what boys need outside school, sports, and screens.

This is about building the kind of support system boys can grow inside.

Parents, we want to hear from you.

What do you wish your son had more of in his life right now?

Congratulations, Shravil Shukla!

During the Boypreneur Hackathon & Pitch, a 13-year-old boy stood on stage and stole everyone’s hearts.

His name is Shravil Shukla.While most people accept wasted electricity as normal, Shravil refused to. He created ZeroDrain an AI-powered system with smart sensors that automatically cuts phantom power waste in homes and buildings, saving energy every single hour.

He didn’t just pitch.
He showed the future.And then the room erupted, Shravil was named Canada Boypreneur Innovator 2026 and took home the $1,000 grand prize. (This is just the first award… the second reveal is coming soon )

This is why Boypreneur exists. To reach boys early, light a fire in their hearts, and tell them: Your ideas matter. Your voice matters. The world needs you.

From consumers to creators. From doubt to belief.

Shravil just proved what’s possible when we invest in our boys. We are so incredibly proud of you, champion.

The future is brighter because of young minds like yours.

Special appreciation to Councillor Rod Power and Shravil's father Gaur Shukla

Some people attend events.

Some people help shape the future behind the scenes.

We’re honored to have Manav Sidhu, from Economic Development, Innovation & Technology at the City of Brampton, supporting Boypreneur Hackathon & Pitch 2026 as a mentor helping guide young innovators from pitch to product and growth.

This is bigger than a stage moment.

It’s about giving boys access to people inside real innovation ecosystems.

People who understand business, technology, entrepreneurship, and what it takes to turn ideas into opportunities.

That’s the vision behind Boypreneur.

Exposure. Mentorship. Direction. Ex*****on.

BOYS LEAD UNITED KINGDOM.

The UK cannot afford to lose another generation of boys.

A boy who is seen grows differently.
A boy who is guided walks differently.
A boy who is believed in leads differently.

On May 16, Boys Lead UK is bringing parents, mentors, educators, leaders, and young men together in Peterborough for a real conversation about the future of boys in the United Kingdom.

Vision, leadership, direction, and community.

36–38 Park Rd, Peterborough PE1 2TG I 1PM BST

The boys we build will determine the nations we become.

To every mother raising boys… You are doing holy work in a loud world.

Behind many strong boys is a mother who prayed through exhaustion, corrected with love, sacrificed in silence, and kept building even when nobody noticed.

Today, we celebrate the women shaping the future one son at a time.

A boy who feels seen, guided, and loved can change a family, a city, even a nation.

And this is only the beginning…The Moms of Boys Movement is coming.

Happy Mother’s Day from Boys Lead. The boys we build determine the nations we become.
