FVI EVENTS
New this year: Father/Son Event (ages 13+)
CHALLENGING GENDER-BASED VIOLENCE
Jonathon (BA, BEd, MEd) started out as a teacher before realizing that he was uniquely passionate about supporting boys’ well-being and challenging gender-based violence. In 2017, Jake, Jermal and Jason helped him launch the Breaking the Boy Code podcast—now part of the NGM Podcast Network—and a year later, hired him to take the lead on NGM’s youth programming. The rest, as they say, is history.
This event will provide an introductory conversation geared to men and boys to learn what constitutes violence and how to recognize it. Participants will also engage in conversations about gender-based violence and how to meaningfully participate in the primary prevention of violence. We will discuss ways we can work together to address violence from happening in our communities and create healthy relationships in our lives.
$20 per person. Includes wings and other pub foods.
Stay and play cornhole after the speech.
Space is limited. Register by October 4, 2024.
