WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU! 👂🏽👂🏽👂🏽👂🏽👂🏽👂🏽 The Fatherhood Initiative Program at CUNY York college is currently seeking students and members of our York college community who are interested in sharing their story regarding fatherhood. This is for anyone who is a father or anyone who has a unique experience with a father or father figure. Please email [email protected] So that we could feature you in our next event!

This semester, we continue The Book Club ONLINE, by looking at David Herbert Donald’s “Lincoln.” Donald chronicles the former President’s life from humble beginnings, to his political ascension within one of the most tumultuous periods in American history. This semester’s Book Club continues the theme of historical autobiographies. The previous book club focused on Alexander Hamilton, who’s life story not only inspires, but also entertains, as any fan of musical theater will tell you. This time around, President Lincoln is our focus, and we couldn’t be more excited to read and discuss his life.

IT’S BOOTH CAMP FOR ALL MENTEES/MENTORS!!

“Join us in a live demonstration of a potential mentoring session on February 11th at 5:00pm.” Hosted by Ryan and Joseph, this event captures the healthy relationship between a mentor and a mentee.

“Everyone comes from somewhere, and has an amazing story. We want to hear yours.” The purpose of this barbershop is to bring people from all walks of life together, to discuss their stories. We all come from somewhere, and have stories to tell. Whether they’re about family, heritage, culture, or hardships, immigration has been the backbone of the American identity. Everyone is welcome to join the discussion. The Male Initiative Program is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.

On this day, September 14th, 2020, it is National Hound Day, and as you may know a hound or a dog is a man’s best friend. Therefore, this Barbershop session will allow us to be the best friends we needed; where we will discuss the hard times, struggles and challenges faced during the corona virus in quarantine period. A barbershop is usually a structured discussion, but I want to use this time to allow it to be a venting session, structured around mentoring.

The fatherhood initiative will be holding weekly group gatherings where you can get to build rapport with other dads, while exchanging strength and support. If you are interested in joining this fall 20’ semester please email: [email protected]

I will never forget this roundtable of friends, including Dick Gregory:
