This Forum will empower, encourage and strengthen the Men and Youth Boys in our communities.
We will have experts leading workshops in the areas of Family, Health, Wealth, Mental Health, Business and Faith. The workshops for teenagers will be on Social Responsibility, Decision Making, Manhood and Respect. One of the highlights will be our panel discussion on What It Means to Be a Man. Our keynote speaker will be Mr. Ed Taylor, CIF Hall of Fame Coach and community leader.
Come and meet other Brothers who will be recharged, refreshed and renewed. This one-day of workshops, panel discussions and fellowship will go a long way in the lives of those who participate.

The cost is all inclusive and includes catered lunch, workshop materials, panel discussions, the keynote address and other amazing activities.
Also, new this year, we’re proud to present a special Women’s panel discussion entitled, “What We Really Wish the Men in Our Lives Knew about Women.” This frank and candid discussion is designed to explore issues that are at the very heart of women at various stages of life and how they wish to be loved and respected. You don’t want to miss it!
