Community in Change: Caprice Jones

Office of BVM Life and Mission invites you to Community in Change with Caprice Jones, executive director and founder of Fountain of Youth in Dubuque, Iowa.

Caprice will share his personal journey which led him on a mission to “change mindsets that contribute to generational poverty through community collaboration, resource sharing, mindfulness, and education.”

Currently under production, clips from the documentary, Boy, will be shared and discussed. The film features Caprice, his work in Dubuque, and his Chicago roots. Boy focuses on Black men serving as role models for the younger generation, helping them change their mindsets, and discovering that “another world is possible.”

No registration required.
