Young American men face real challenges that demand urgent attention and thoughtful solutions that actually work. From skyrocketing mental health crises and declining college enrollment to digital addiction and social isolation, an entire generation of males is struggling to find their place in modern America. And it's not just men who are hurting because of it. Women, their families, their communities, and their country all suffer as a result.
The first-ever Symposium on Young American Men, presented by
The Lafayette Company, will convene lawmakers from both major political parties, health care experts, men's organizations, policymakers, researchers, and education leaders to examine the scope of these critical social challenges and present evidence-based proposals to improve male well-being.
The livestream from the National Press Club will run from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. EDT on Monday, November 3, 2025 and be available as a video after.
