This November, something life-changing is happening. The Global Young Men’s Conference returns—bringing together schools, mentors, and communities to support young men in discovering who they are, who they can become, and the brotherhood that will help them get there.

In Oakland, we’re preparing our largest gathering yet—200 young men (grades 6–12) coming together for a FREE day of food, fun, truth-telling, and transformation on Saturday, Nov. 8.

By attending this conference, young men will get:

  • Communication – learning to open up instead of shutting down

  • Accountability – taking ownership of actions and choices

  • Emotional Awareness – recognizing and managing real feelings

  • Self-Advocacy – learning to ask for help and speak their truth

  • Conflict Resolution – turning anger into understanding

  • Connection – building trust with family, peers, and mentors

  • Resilience – bouncing back from setbacks with strength

  • Leadership – stepping into purpose and positive influence

Last year’s conference changed lives. This year, we’re going even bigger.

Be part of this powerful movement — secure your spot today!

📅 Date/Time: Saturday, November 8, 2025 | 10:00 AM – 4:00 PM
📍 Location: 5750 College Ave, Oakland, CA 94618
