boys2men Leadership Summit

Crowley Foundation collaborated with the University of Colorado in Boulder to launch the first retreat in June, 2015 hosting 20 young men. The initial session was three days and has now grown into a week-long segment that accommodates 35 young men. Our 6 mentors play an integral part in the success of the summit; they must represent the core values of the organization. The participants are paired into brotherhoods and given the theme of the summit and their component to create a presentation for the end of the week. Over the course of the week, each session is a building block to equip them for their presentation and to strengthen their bond as a brotherhood. The outcome is unparalleled. The Leadership Summit has become the most treasured program for the young men.

I’m A Business, Man’ is a campaign initiated by the Young Kings of the Crowley Foundation. As we prepare to lead another generation of Black Families, it is imperative that we intentionally develop our Financial Acumen. We have Identified 5 areas that will help us address the wealth disparity in our families; Accounting, Investing, Unlearn Poverty & Relearn Wealth, Market Analysis, Tax Accounting

We understand that financial literacy is our bucket in a well of wealth- the larger our bucket the greater our wealth. Throughout a 5-Day Interactive Summit we will redefine the dollar and purpose of these means, asses our personal relationship with money then outline a personal financial road map to acquire financial freedom.
