RISE for Boys and Men of Color Webinar

May 4, 2017 @ 3:00 pm - 4:30 pm

“Movin’ on up: Expanding access to high-opportunity neighborhoods for boys and men of color”

In this webinar, residential segregation is examined as a restrictive mechanism in which the distribution of opportunities for boys and men of color is inhibited. Attention is given to considering how racism operates at multiple levels to confer greater risk among boys and men of color for poor life outcomes. In addition, policies and practices that have contributed to these phenomena will be discussed as they provide context for understanding how life outcomes for boys and men of color have been impacted. Strategies, interventions, and recommendations that hold promise for improving the lives of boys and men of color and the neighborhoods in which they reside will be highlighted.
