Field School Presents A Community Conversation with Richard Reeves

National data shows boys across the country are falling behind academically, socially, and emotionally, leaving many families concerned and seeking solutions. Join Field School for a timely and thought-provoking evening with Richard Reeves, a leading expert on boys’ development, author of “Of Boys and Men” and “Yes, Boys Can”, senior fellow at the Brookings Institution, and president of the American Institute for Boys and Men. Drawing on national research and real-world data, Reeves will explore:

• Why boys are struggling in today’s education system
• How developmental timelines differ for boys and girls
• Why middle school is a critical window for growth and readiness
• What families, schools, and communities can do to better support boys
• Why parents should consider a “red-shirt” year for their sons

This event is designed for parents, educators, coaches, grandparents, and community members who care about helping boys grow into confident, capable young men.

A moderated conversation and audience Q&A will follow the talk.
