The Men of Purpose, a local group of community and civic leaders focused on helping the youth of Jackson Parish prepare for the future, has a free session for boys and girls aged 10 and up scheduled for Saturday, July 18th.

The “talk back” meeting, where youth have the opportunity to hear a program titled Self-Respect and then comment and ask questions on the topic, will take place at 11:00 am in the Jonesboro Housing Authority Conference Room, located at 203 Hightower Street in Jonesboro. \

The purpose of this and other sessions sponsored by Men of Purpose is to help young people know themselves, set goals, build for the future, and make a difference through leading with purpose and making a positive impact.
