When the Obama Presidential Center opens this June 19, my hope is that this will be a place where people can come together to meet, learn, and work with each other to create change in their communities. Learn more at https://t.co/ahkDMKalIn.

Today, we celebrate 12 years of My Brother's Keeper Alliance!
Guided by our six milestones, and rooted in the belief that communities are the unit of change to realize improved life outcomes for boys and young men of color, we build pathways for progress that lead to real, measurable impact.
Our Leadership Academy helps young leaders grow in confidence and skill, MBK Ambassadors lift up youth voice and leadership in community spaces, and our MBK Communities bring together partners to expand opportunity in ways that are measurable and meaningful.
Through this work, we are not just redefining what opportunity means for boys and young men of color, we are creating safe, supportive communities where they feel valued and have clear pathways to opportunity and success. Today is a chance to celebrate how far we’ve come and recommit to the work ahead.
MBK is deeply grateful for President Obama, the mentors, families, partners, and young leaders who inspire our mission every single day. Together, we continue to build a future full of possibility.
Middle school students. Big ideas. Powerful voices.
Our Next Verse Project helped young leaders explore their creativity, build confidence, and imagine what’s next for their communities—one verse at a time.
Through art and story, hope comes alive. Trey Baker (@treymbaker), 3x Emmy-nominated Spoken Word Artist, Author & Arts Educator, shows the power of creativity to inspire healing and connection.

“Trees are like me. They grow & never stop learning.” 🌲
