DPF works to unleash the power of communities working together to solve problems for boys and young men, at a level to improve real life outcomes. We believe communities are the unit of change to realize improved life outcomes for boys and young men. Research shows that collective work of community leaders, members, and public and private agencies pursuing the same goals for boys and young men can lead to sustainable, place-based change.
We believe that cross-sector collaborative action is central to how communities will achieve improved outcomes for boys and young men globally.
