The Mentoring Effect!
"Impact on Young Men of Color"
Come join us during Black History Month,
as the Boys & Girls Club of New Haven brings attention to the need
for mentors and how it impacts young men of color, as well as how each
of us - individuals, businesses, schools, faith-based communities and
non-profits - can work together to increase the number of mentors to
assure great futures for New Haven's youth.
On Thursday, February 26, 2015
the Boys & Girls Club of New Haven is inviting the Community to
come out and listen to a panel made up of Young People & Community
Leaders! Conversation is scheduled to run from 6 - 7:30 PM at our main
site (253 Columbus Avenue). Dinner will be included.
This inter-generational panel will discuss the importance and impact of mentoring from both adult and youth perspectives.
