Perry is addressing mental health issues of low self-esteem, anxiety, and social and cultural aspects that affect health such as financial literacy, education, workforce development, physical and mental health, etc. in Birmingham, Alabama by partnering with the City of Birmingham Mayor’s Office Division of Youth Services. To do so, he will create the “Birmingham Fellows”, a mentoring group of ten young men from a Birmingham City High School. These students will then use the newfound relationships, knowledge, and skills developed in the group to create and execute a community service project of their own to promote unity, leadership, and initiative.
