It's that time of the year for YIP to have a Male Teen Summit and Resource Fair. This summit is for males for ages 12-18 years of age. Some big topics will be addressed heavily at the summit. They are Education, Employment, Health Entrepreneurship and Leadership. Those are some of the challenges facing young black males and we feel these issues should be addressed now before it’s too late.
The summit will be held on Saturday, March 8, 2007 from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. The location for the summit will be Grace Church of the Nazarene at 18020 Hoover in Detroit.. I had the privilege to attend the summit last year and I can say that I was very proud of the people who came out to support our campaign and YIP. Roughly 250 young and grown black males spoke about issues going on in their community and what needs to be done about it.
People such as Deputy Chief Ralph Godbee, men from college, and directors from youth programs were also there. The resources networking will be a big thing at the summit and our males need to take advantaged of it. So I invite all teen males around the city to come out and speak out. Your voice matters. So let it be heard and help make a change in your community!!
