What is the value of a mentor in a young man’s life? Join the conversation about mentoring with Shawn Dove on #GMPChat
-
Join us on Wednesday, April 16th at 9pm Est for a #GMPChat with Shawn Dove @DoveSoars on the power of mentoring boys.
We will be chatting about what men can do to become role models and help boys and young men on their journey to adulthood.
How can men show up in the lives of boys and help guide them for the future?
What are the benefits of a mentoring relationship for both the mentor and mentee?
How can parents find appropriate mentoring programs for their son?
Shawn Dove joined the Open Society Institute in May 2008 as manager of the Campaign for Black Male Achievement. He has more than two decades of leadership experience in youth development, education, and community building.
Dove served as one of the founding directors of New York City’s Beacon School movement in the early 1990s while working with the Harlem Children’s Zone. As creative communities director for the National Guild of Community Schools of the Arts he led a national initiative that partnered community schools of the arts and public housing communities in 20 U.S. cities.
As New York vice president for Mentor/National Mentoring Partnership he initiated a strategic response to the lack of African American and Latino male mentors for New York City’s boys by creating a public awareness and recruitment initiative called The Male Mentoring Project.
In 2006, Dove founded Proud Poppa, a publication for African American fathers and is a co-founder of Harlem Men Stand Up, an empowerment project that holds quarterly summits in Harlem. Dove was a Charles H. Revson Fellow at Columbia University in 1993 and received a BA in English from Wesleyan University.
