My Brother’s Keeper was founded by former President Barack Obama in 2014 to address opportunity gaps faced by boys and young men of color with the goal to ensure that all can reach their full potential regardless of birth circumstance. My Brother’s Keeper Boston (MBK Boston) was started by former Mayor Martin J. Walsh with the commitment of former President Obama to support the young men and women of Boston with the goal of providing tools and resources necessary for success. Gregory Blaize, the executive director of MBK Boston, is the lead representative on behalf of MBK Boston and the current pilot program.
Boston Public Schools
Boston Public Schools
We partnered with Boston Public Schools so that MBK Boston fellows can serve as mentors and role models for BIPOC elementary, middle, and high school students in the local community. MBK Boston fellows serve as successful examples of individuals who are achieving higher education and serving their community. We are thrilled to be working with students at the Paul A Dever Elementary School.
