My Brother’s Keeper
In September 2014, President Obama issued a challenge to cities, towns, counties and
tribes across the country to become “MBK Communities.” This challenge represents a
call to action for all members of our communities, and mayors in particular, as they
often sit at the intersection of many of the vital forces and structural components
needed to enact sustainable change through policy, programs, and partnerships.
President Obama launched the My Brother’s Keeper initiative to address persistent
opportunity gaps faced by boys and young men of color and ensure that all young
people can reach their full potential.
Through this initiative, the Administration is joining with cities and towns, businesses,
and foundations who are taking important steps to connect young people to mentoring, support networks, and the skills they need to find a good job or go to college and
work their way into the middle class.
My Brother’s Keeper is focused on six milestones:

Ensuring that all children should have a healthy start and enter school ready –
cognitively, physically, socially and emotionally.

Ensuring that all children should be reading at grade level by age 8 – the age at
which reading to learn becomes essential.

Ensuring that all youth graduate from high school.

Ensure that every American child should have the option to attend postsecondary education and receive the education and training needed for quality jobs of
today and tomorrow.

Ensure that all children successfully enters the Workforce: Anyone who wants a
job should be able to get a job that allows them to support themselves and their
families.

Ensuring that all children should be safe from violent crime; and individuals who
are confined should receive the education, training and treatment they need for
a second chance.
