Movember with NSBE Boston

NSBE Boston's Movember Challenge

NSBE Boston’s mission is to empower Black engineers to excel academically, succeed professionally, and positively impact their communities. Health is essential to making that mission a reality. When our members are thriving—physically, mentally, and emotionally—they’re better equipped to lead, support each other, and drive change.

That’s why we’re stepping up for Movember. This movement invites everyone to prioritize wellness and take action on issues like mental health, prostate health, and suicide prevention—areas that often go unspoken but deeply impact our community. By supporting Movember, we’re creating space for these important conversations, promoting regular check-ups, and encouraging small steps toward a healthier life.

Movember is for everyone, and we’re inviting men and women to get involved! Women can play a vital role by raising awareness, learning about men’s health challenges, and supporting the men in their lives to make wellness a priority. Whether it’s cheering each other on in the fitness challenge, checking in with a friend, or reminding a loved one about a check-up, each action helps build a healthier, stronger community—one that’s ready to lift each other up and lead by example.

We’re bringing Movember to life with a series of events designed for both fitness and community engagement:

  1. Movember Fitness Challenge: Track your steps with the STEPUP app, join our NSBE Boston Movember group, and compete for prizes. Every step counts toward a healthier community!
  2. Kickoff Hike on November 2nd: Start Movember strong with a scenic hike and bonus points in the challenge. It’s a great way to connect with other members while working toward a common goal. Register here
  3. Barbershop Conversations on November 23rd: Join us at In The Cut in Nubian Square for insightful discussions led by health experts on mental health, chronic health issues, and preventive care. Register here
  4. Grand Finale on November 30th: We’ll close the month by announcing the Movember champions on social media, celebrating everyone’s dedication to health and wellness.
