Pub Foods With The Dudes

New this year: Father/Son Event (ages 13+)

Special Guest Speaker:

Jonathon Reed from Next Gen Men

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.

From 5-8pm at Sagitawah Brewing Co. in Whitecourt
