At our May Advocates for Young Men gathering, young leaders AJ and Jorge shared powerful truths about trust, judgment, and what teens really need from adults. We celebrated 21 years of Ever Forward Club and explored how empathy—not lectures—builds connection. When we listen deeply, we create space for young men to thrive.
The Ever Forward Club joyfully celebrated its 21st anniversary with a vibrant Community Dance-A-Thon. Nearly 100 participants joined the festivities, enjoying dancing, creative art activities, and community connections. All proceeds from this heartwarming event will support the upcoming Young Men's Conference, empowering local youth through workshops and mentoring.
