The eyes have it. Their eyes so beautiful looking forward with hope. They are our future.

I believe that President Obama will continue this work when he leaves office, because he loves children and they surely love him.

Why MBK Alliance

For decades, opportunity has lagged behind for boys and young men of color. Roadblocks trap sons, fathers, and grandfathers in an inter-generational cycle of poverty, injustice, and social immobility. Without substantial, comprehensive, and sustained intervention, America’s promising youth will continue to suffer from social stagnation. We know we can do better for all of our youth.

Across the country, communities are adopting innovative approaches, opening doors, strengthening supports, and building ladders of opportunity for young people, including boys and men of color, to help put them on the path to success. MBK Alliance will build on that success because we understand that more must be done to help remove barriers to all young people’s success.

Delivering the MBK Alliance Mission

The challenges facing boys and men of color are pervasive and enduring, and MBK Alliance knows what it takes to achieve lasting change: a sustained driving force. MBK Alliance will be that force by uniting leaders across philanthropic, nonprofit, and private sectors to improve life outcomes of boys and men of color; by mobilizing resources and generating commitment from private sector partners; and by providing an infrastructure to support a national movement.

MBK Alliance’s commitment to sustainable, long-term, and effective engagement rests on four key missions:
•Catalyzing Place-Based Change to help spark localized change and spread impactful practices throughout the country.
•Creating Aligned Action to unite cross-sector actors around a common agenda for BYMOC with measurable targets.
•Generating Commitments to spur new capital and engage the private sector to deliver impactful talent policies.
•Scaling “What Works” to identify and scale innovative solutions and promote evidence-based best practices.
