Youth Guidance’s Programs
BAM (Becoming a Man) and WOW (Working on Womanhood)
In his letter to the White community of Birmingham Dr. King declares that now is the time for action against social, legal, economic, and personal racism, both intended and unintended. Almost 60 years after that speech we will discuss the challenges still faced by the youth in the African-American community and what we can do. Through the participation of one of our benevolent organizations, Youth Guidance, and members of our church involved in the organization we will discuss how we can work to help repair issues in our community. Please join us on Monday, April 26 at 7 p.m. to learn how BAM and WOW have supported their students.
