If you’re looking for a national—or even global—directory of local, in‑real‑life (IRL) men’s groups, yes: there are resources out there that serve exactly that purpose. Here are some prominent directories and organizations you can explore:

Established Directories for Men’s Groups

• FindaMensGroup.com — Describes itself as “a global directory of men’s groups focused on emotional work” and aims to help men find groups around the world.
• men’sgroupdirectory.com — A global directory intended to consolidate men’s groups regardless of focus or structure. The site includes a map to help you locate an open group in your local area.

Organization-Specific Networks with Local Chapters

• The ManKind Project (MKP) — A well-established nonprofit offering weekend retreats followed by ongoing Integration Groups (I‑Groups). MKP spans multiple regions in the U.S. and internationally, and maintains a directory of local groups.

Alternatives & Specialized Listings

• trueMASCULINITY.org — Offers a directory of men’s groups where you can search by state or ZIP code on their website. If you lead a group, you can also list it for others to find.
• Pro‑Feminist Men’s Group Listings — Includes organizations like the Men’s Health Network and the National Organization for Men Against Sexism (NOMAS), which may support local chapters or group listings.
• F3 Nation — A U.S.‑based network of free, peer-led workout groups for men. While focused primarily on physical fitness, it fosters community and leadership through local IRL meetups.

Other Community-Based Avenues

Nonprofits such as Mental Health America (MHA) and SAMHSA provide broader support group directories, but they tend to focus on mental health or recovery rather than gender‑specific, peer‑based men’s groups. MHA encourages finding local affiliates for support, and SAMHSA lists national programs like NAMI, but these are not dedicated exclusively to men’s circles.
