A Call to Action II of the My Brother's Keeper Initiative

Anyone concerned with the economic future of our country, our communities, our families or our county should know that empowering all of our youth, changing the trajectory of boys and young men of color will make a better future for all of us.


My Brother's Keeper is a multi-sector effort launched by President Obama to help put boys and young men of color on a pathway to success by building education, mentor and job opportunities in traditionally under-served communities.
