This one-time only virtual event will get in the trenches with living legends to discuss why mentorship matters, and the important role men have in building the next generation of African American men with character. Those who attend will enjoy a firsthand experience, featuring:

• Tony Dungy, New York Times Best Selling Author and Pro Football Hall of Fame Coach;
• Brian Sexton, Motivational Speaker and Senior Correspondent for the Jacksonville Jaguars
• Darryl Willie, U.S. Special Advisor and acting Board Member for Duval County Public Schools;
• Dr. Tammy Hodo, founder and President of All Things Diverse;
• Derrick Brooks, Pro Football Hall of Famer, who following a 14-year NFL career channeled his passion to serve others through Derrick Brooks Charities, his organization committed to providing educational opportunities for socio-economically challenged youth.

All too often adolescents lack consistency in their lives, a situation that becomes even more dire in single parent homes. Those who attend this event will leave with a collective understanding of how developing mentor to mentee relationships will assit in guiding our boys through their developmental years. Building Young Men of Character serves the greater mission of Level the Playing Field Leadership Academy to be a resource for young men through the critical years so that they have every chance to develop into the strong, productive leaders of tomorrow.
