Now is the time to sign up to mentor during the upcoming Boys to Men Summit in Dothan.

The three-day event is sponsored by the Alabama Cooperative Extension System.

It is geared toward boys ages 12 to 17.

It’s being held July 31st through August 2nd at Greater Beulah Baptist Church.

The 100 slots for boys are already full, but organizers are still looking for 30-men to serve as mentors.

A familiar national face is scheduled to participate in the summit.

Event Organizer Rosalind James said, "Steadman Graham is a motivational speaker out of Chicago; we are excited to have him as our kick off speaker for our Boys to Men Summit."

The summit is designed to improve the academic success of young men in reading, math and science, and to increase parental involvement in their child's education.
