Event to prepare men to become responsible dads is Monday in Youngstown
YOUNGSTOWN — Involving fathers in the lives of their children is the primary goal of “Preparing Men for the ‘Now and the Future,’” a workshop for men Monday sponsored by the Youngstown Metropolitan Housing Authority and Community Initiative to Reduce Violence and CDI Head Start.
The event, from 5 to 8 p.m. at Arlington Heights Recreation Center, 801 Park Ave., will offer fathers information on how to engage with their families and children, said Guy Burney, coordinator of the Youngstown Community Initiative to Reduce Violence, a partnership of law enforcement, social service agencies, and community members with the goal to reduce gun violence in the city.
“This is a community effort. We have to, at some point, change the course of young men with regard to their families and children,” said Burney, chairman of Monday’s event.
