PHILADELPHIA, PA. (USA) – 23 January 2008 -- Amongst Men, Inc. is extending an invitation to male students enrolled in Philadelphia’s private and public elementary, middle and high schools, their family members, educators, community leaders and concerned citizens. They invite you to attend its “Walking in Honor™ “On the Journey of Success” MID-YEAR SCHOOL CONFERENCE AND INFORMATION SUMMIT on Saturday, 16 February 2008 from 9:30 A.M. through 2:00 P.M. at Benjamin Franklin High School which is located at 550 North Broad Street in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The Mid-Year School Conference and Information Summit is a series of family involvement programs offering a myriad of workshops and forums in addition to a continental breakfast and luncheon beginning on Saturday, 16 February 2008.

So, why is there a need for a Mid-Year School Conference and Information Summit? Mr. Robert Hall, Founder and Executive Director of Amongst Men offered the following:

“The purpose of our Mid-Year School Conference and Information Summit is to encourage male students in grades 4 through12 and their parents or guardians understand and develop skills in the effective use of all available educational and self-development resources to provide for a more successful school year. AMI offers a series of citywide conferences, programs and activities in more than fifteen schools that contribute to the development of exemplary young men. AMI’s Walking in Honor™ Character Development program for male students has gathered survey data which suggests that collective efforts made during the school year, will be instrumental in motivating inner city male students along with their families toward academic achievement.”

Prospective attendees of the MID-YEAR SCHOOL CONFERENCE are required to register by calling 215-553-8199 or e-mail their contact information to info@amongstmen.com no later than one week prior to the date of the conference.

There is no registration charge for male students and their parents attending the Walking in Honor™ On the JOURNEY OF SUCCESS” MID-SCHOOL YEAR CONFERENCE AND INFORMATION SUMMIT.

All students attending the event will receive a continental breakfast, lunch and program supplies. A number of students will become eligible to win sports equipment. The first 50 registrants for the event will be entered into a drawing to win a number of prizes and department store and gas gift cards.
