California State University, Fullerton (CSUF) Annual Male Youth Empowerment Conference (MYEC) is hosted by the Male Success Initiative-Fullerton and CSUF Educational Partnerships
. Each year MYEC is geared towards either Middle School or High Schools aged young men of color. The event traditionally takes place at CSUF in January a week before Spring Classes begin, between 8:00am and 2:00pm.
This year MYEC 5.0, 5th Anniversary Theme is "Elevating His CommUNITY". The purpose of this theme is to highlight Social Justice to acknowledge that we as men of color have experienced a very intense year of 2020, especially the summer of2020. We acknowledge that Black Lives Matter and we hope this year's conference will empower all young men of color to recognize that they each have within themselves the power to Elevate HIS CommUNITY! Given the current times MYEC 2021 recognizes this is needed now more than ever, especially during times of social unrest like we are currently experiencing. The conference is geared towards all high school young men of color and will be taking place virtually
