INDIANAPOLIS - Community groups and non-profits are doing their part to try and keep teenagers on the straight and narrow path. Dionne Brown, who founded Single Parent Connection in 2018, says the work is challenging and rewarding.

"As a single mom, I saw first-hand how hard things were when it came to raising a young man," Brown said. "There were just certain things I couldn't teach him."

It's why she, partnering with the Men's Ministry of The Blended Church, came up with the Boys to Men Workshop. There will two workshops this summer where young men between the ages of 12 & 18 will learn important life lessons.
