Jackson Maloney
Biographical Info
Jackson Maloney is a youth mentor and rites of passage guide based in Boulder, Colorado. He founded Standing On The Earth in 2023 with the mission to support teenage boys and young men through the threshold of boyhood into adulthood. He blends wilderness-based initiation and apprenticeship-style mentorship to help guide adolescents towards greater maturation, focusing on emotional awareness and capacity, identification and pursuit of their passions, clear communication skills, ability for insight and self-reflection, and connection with nature and the world around them. Drawing on his own transformational encounters in nature and ceremony, his creative career as a poet and songwriter, years volunteering with Men’s Leadership Alliance and Twin Eagles Wilderness School, and his own personal struggles as a teenager before he met his own mentors, Jackson offers a space for teens to build trust with somebody outside of their immediate family. His vision is for a world where all adolescent boys have the support they need to become healthy, thriving, generative, joyful men who are utilizing their gifts in service of something greater than themselves.
