PANA Pennsylvania Ave Neighborhood Assoc AKA Youth In Action on the Avenue

03/31/2026

Yesterday, (PANA) had the incredible opportunity to take our young men to the Boyz II Men event—and it was truly powerful.

Our young leaders were able to connect with strong, positive male role models who genuinely care about their growth and future. They heard real, relatable stories from men who have faced similar challenges and turned their experiences into purpose.

Most importantly, they walked away with tools, resources, and hope—learning that healing is possible, support is real, and they are not alone.

This is what building leaders looks like. 💪🏾✨
