Voice Male Live: Risk

Join us for a special evening in Toronto for an honest conversation about the risks boys and men face, and what we owe them.

Voice Male has spent years sharing the truth about boys, men, and masculinity in print. Now, for one night, we're coming to a Toronto stage, live.

We're putting "risk" in the room from three sides:

• the risks boys are pushed to take—to be tough, to prove themselves, to chase status, quick money, or the perfect look
• the risks they're taught to avoid—being honest, being vulnerable, and reaching out when they're struggling
• and the one we rarely name: the risk of doing nothing, and leaving boys to learn what it means to be a man from a stranger on a screen

Our panel of incredible speakers is set, and we'll announce the lineup soon. Expect straight talk, real evidence, and takeaways you can genuinely use. Whether you're a parent, a teacher, a coach, an employer, or just someone who cares about the boys and men in your life, you'll leave with tools and supports to help you move forward.

This is a public night, built for the whole Toronto community. You don't need to work in this field to belong here—you just need to care.

In town for the Boys Will Be Summit? This is the public evening that opens it, so come join us before we get to work behind closed doors.

Good to know

• Bring the teenagers in your life, because the conversation is built to include them. We recommend this event for ages 13+, as some themes may be more mature.
• We'll name real risks—gambling, isolation, the pressure to be someone you're not—and we'll do it with care.
• ASL interpretation and live captioning are available on request. Just let us know when you register.
• This evening will be photographed and filmed.
• Seats are limited, and this room fills up the week of the Summit. Book early.

Tickets – $60 (includes a copy of the new Voice Male magazine)
Your $60 does two jobs: it covers your seat, and it helps us cover someone for whom the price is a barrier. If you're able to pay it, you're quietly holding the door open for someone else. And if the $60 is what's standing between you and that door—reach out. We'll make it work, no questions asked.

• Voice Male Members – your code is in your member email: Champions & Advocates get 20% off, Supporters get 15% off
• Boys Will Be Summit registrants – 50% off with the code in your confirmation email
• Tickets are non-refundable, but transferable—if you can't make it, pass yours to a friend, or let us know and we'll offer your seat to someone waiting. Either way, your ticket still helps someone through the door.

Come be part of the honest conversation masculinity needs.
