Cullen J. Davis Young Men of Color Symposium
Saturday, November 1 | 9 a.m.–3 p.m.
Parker’s 8th annual Young Men of Color Symposium is a leadership conference for self-identified men of color in 6th–12th grades who attend independent schools.
The day will feature opportunities for participants to explore their identities while learning skills geared towards self-advocacy and community-building. Students will feel empowered to effect positive change in their lives and their communities using newly acquired language and knowledge. Additionally, adult participants will attend workshops designed to effectively serve young men of color by examining how to create and sustain courageous, safe spaces within their school and beyond.
Keynote speaker: Superbowl champion and television producer Spencer Paysinger.
