Fathers & Families of San Joaquin along with our community partners are organizing the 3rd Annual Boys and Men of Color (BMoC) Summit at the University of the Pacific on Friday, April 5, 2013.
The summit will apply race and gender as a lens to understand the root causes of marginalized and disenfranchised youth and young men and develop comprehensive community driven solutions that will be focused on reducing disparities among economically disadvantaged communities.
The BMoC community includes students, teachers, practitioners, advocates, and parents. We admired your work in the community and believe that your message would inspire and empower souls and minds to create an equity movement in the Central Valley. We hope you will be able to accept our invitation to attend and to join us in the effort of developing solutions for boys and men of color. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to call us at(209) 941-0701.
