      <image:caption>As a nation, we are at a tipping point where racial injustice has been brought to the living rooms of every American, including our Club youth. Now, more than ever, Club's programs must continue to be a safe place for all youth. These safe spaces and programs can be provided to give youth a place to discuss what they are witnessing with trusted adults. This program will highlight some of the experiences Black students are undergoing and provide an opportunity for youth to process their emotions and express how they feel about topics such as racism, being Black in America, and masculinity. Students will watch different videos and then participate in an open dialogue/listening session with the facilitator. All facilitators will be persons of color and will be willing to speak openly about their shared experiences as well.</image:caption>
