Conference talking about their experience at BHS and taking Q & As afterwards!
Here is a quick overview of the Men's Conference!
The main goal of the conference is to support our young men in their academic and social development. The conference is comprised of engaging panel discussions that expose students to successful men of color. Additionally, workshops and activities are conducted that provide them with strategies and tools they can utilize to overcome personal life challenges. The conference was founded on the idea of “Ubuntu” an African proverb meaning “I am what I am because of who we all are.” This concept encourages young men of color to pave a path for others to follow.
Goals:
- Encourage students to take ownership of their learning
- Instill the understanding of the Growth Mindset Theory (Carol Dweck)
- Expose students to successful men of color and their journeys
- Expose students to life opportunities beyond what social media portrays
- Cultivate a brotherhood that empowers, inspires, and motivates young men of color to excel as scholars
