FREE ADMISSION – FREE FOOD – FREE GIVEAWAYS
DreamHouse Make A Difference Foundation, in partnership with Heal America and The Stand Together Foundation, is honored to invite you to the Boys To Men Youth Conference & Expo. The primary purpose of the event is to address the urgent youth male crisis in America and empower, develop, and motivate young males by providing resources, education, and opportunities that maximize their potential for success. This event is FREE for all attendees.
The youth male crisis in America is a pressing issue that demands our attention. According to recent data, young males, especially those of color, face significant challenges, including higher rates of school dropout, involvement in the criminal justice system, and mental health issues. This crisis leaves them vulnerable to negative influences and a lack of support that can hinder their growth and future prospects.
The Boys To Men Youth Conference & Expo will address a diverse range of important subjects during conference discussions. These include exploring mental health and promoting self-care practices to shape individuals better equipped to thrive in society, guiding young men through the journey of transitioning to adulthood while instilling essential values, encouraging the pursuit of passions and dreams, empowering individuals to overcome self-doubt and fear of success, equipping them with strong communication skills for positive relationships, nurturing healthy connections with peers and family, facilitating safe interactions with law enforcement, encouraging the exploration of creative talents to express the voice of the youth, and offering insights on navigating the professional world and pursuing meaningful careers. Through engaging and insightful sessions, our tour aims to empower and inspire young men, equipping them with the tools and knowledge necessary to lead fulfilling lives and make positive contributions to society.
