An Audience with Marvin Herbert

Event Title:
An Audience with Marvin Herbert: From Crime to Change

Event Description:
Join us for a raw and powerful evening with Marvin Herbert — a former high-level criminal turned motivational speaker and youth mentor. With over 76 convictions and a near-death experience, Marvin’s story is one of brutal truth, personal transformation, and redemption.

This event is not just a talk. It’s an experience that challenges how we think about crime, youth culture, mental health, and second chances. Expect real-life insight, hard-hitting honesty, and solutions-driven conversation aimed at prevention, awareness, and change.

Whether you’re a teacher, parent, youth worker, student, or simply curious — this is one for the soul.

What to Expect:
• Marvin’s unfiltered life story — from gangs, prisons and trauma to survival and reinvention
• Q&A session: ask Marvin anything
• Opportunities to connect with youth outreach leaders, mentors, and changemakers
• A safe, honest space to reflect, learn, and build community

Ideal For:
Anyone working with or raising young people, those impacted by crime, educators, community workers, or people interested in personal development.
