I attended the Boys2Men Symposium sponsored by Northside Church of Christ in Jacksonville, Florida. I visited the conference to see first hand the programs designed by the community to help young men in the community achieve success.
Based on what I saw, I would say the symposium was a success; however, this is an isolated program that primarily helps young men that live in the surrounding neighborhoods. There are many other neighborhoods that could benefit from such a program. The challenge is finding the resources, the commitment of a strong leader over an extended period of time, and support from the community to make it a success.
