Real Conversations. Real Tools. Real Growth.
Barbershop Talk is a youth and community engagement initiative created by 200 Man Stand in partnership with The TwoGether Group. Inspired by the role barbershops have always played as spaces for honest conversation, mentorship and connection, Barbershop Talk brings young people together with mentors, professionals, community leaders and individuals with real-life experience for conversations that matter.
Each edition focuses on issues young people are navigating in real time, including education, discipline, decision-making, relationships, mental health, athletics, music, finances, social media, purpose and preparing for life after school.
From our Student Athlete Edition and Back to School Edition to conversations with young musicians and creatives, the goal is simple: meet young people where they are, give them a safe space to speak openly, and connect them with people and tools that can help them make better decisions about where they’re going.
Barbershop Talk isn’t about lecturing young people. It’s about talking with them. We bring different generations and perspectives into the same room so students can ask real questions, hear real experiences and leave with something they can actually use.
Better Conversations. Better Decisions. Better Men.
