Looking for a few good men 鈥?Grounded on adult transformative learning & community development principles, this initiative will actively engage both the coordinators/participants in defining the outcomes/benefits. Participants will play a key role in their own advocacy & leadership training and will actively monitor their learning process & action. The Immigrant Men Advocacy Network will provide the grounds for immigrant men to speak about their issues & contribute to solutions. 7 ]1 ~2 J4 S( \2 F
