The Peggi C. James Fortitude Foundation is sponsoring a community initiative, Bridging the Gap for Young Males, on Wednesday, March 12, from 6-8 p.m. at Pleasant Shade Missionary Church in Enterprise.

The PCJFF concurs with the words of Freddie Douglas: “It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men.”

The program will present a series of topics aimed at educating and empowering young males. The second session will be Bridging the Gap for Young Males: Authority, Conduct and the Law. Due to the proliferation of violence, drugs and crime in society, the Foundation hopes the initiative will make a significant impact on the lives of young males.
