AFB partners and connects participants with strong, supportive men and women who encourage our young adults to become positive forces in their communities. This interactive group opportunity encourages participants to become strong, positive men and women in the face of overwhelmingly negative environmental forces that surround them (drugs, gangs, and violence). Mentors and guest speakers serve as role models as they introduce participants to an alternate blueprint for how to successfully live their lives.
