SPRINGFIELD — U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Massachusetts, is scheduled to attend a Friday afternoon roundtable discussion with Mayor Domenic Sarno at Suit Up Springfield, a nonprofit that aims to guide young city men in the right direction.

The event is scheduled for 1:30 p.m. at Suit Up Springfield, 296 Worthington St.

Warren is expected to meet with Sarno and other officials to discuss the city's various efforts to support at-risk youth.

Jim Leydon, the mayor's communications director, said Warren read about Suit Up Springfield on MassLive and wanted to learn more about the organization.

Suit Up Springfield describes itself as a community organization "focused on guiding the young men of Springfield ... on professional attire and becoming professionally minded." The nonprofit, governed by a "Board of Mentors," says its mission is to "build opportunities for the leaders of tomorrow."

Sarno is expected to emcee the event, Leydon said.
