More Than Conquerors is a mentoring program for young adult men who need support and guidance to navigate through the next phase of life. The mentoring seminar will include the following topics: Conquering Fears/Overcoming Negative Feelings, Skills/Interest Assessment, Goal Planning, Exploring Employment Options, Communication, Literacy, Living Independently, Finances/Budgeting, Self-Esteem, Relationships, The Male Role and Responsibilities, etc.
We are going to have an interest meeting on Sunday, August 7, 2016 from 3:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. at the Durham County Library on Milton Road. During the interest meeting we are going to 1) review the agenda for the two workshops scheduled for Sunday, August 21st and Sunday, August 28th, 2) facilitate a structured discussion about the plight of the Black Male and the Roles and Responsibilities of A Male, and 3) feelings regarding the current challenges you are facing.

The agenda for the two seminars include: Session #1-Feelings/Self-Esteem, Skills/Interest Inventory, Writing a Plan for Moving Forward, Independent Living; and, Session #2- Making the Rules Versus Breaking the Rules, Style and Culture Conflicts in the Workplace, and Relationships/Protecting Your Future.

We will ask the attendees if there are topics they need for us to address that are not included and what they want the follow-up to be in addition to connecting with positive adult male role models who are willing to mentor you. Mentoring can include being a person to vent to when angry, a person to help you process and develop new project ideas, a person to go with you to a place to enroll in a program (i.e Literacy Program, Center for Employment Training).
