Since the launch of the My Brother’s Keeper Initiative by the White House, and the acceptance of the MBK Community Challenge by the City of Denver, the Office of Children’s Affairs and City of Denver have recognized that this work has been being done by amazing individuals and organizations in Denver. We felt it was important these individuals and organizations were recognized.
In March the Office of Children’s Affairs sent out a request to the Denver community for nominations of individuals and/or organizations that have been working to assure that boys and young men of color maximize their potential. The community responded with nominations from across different sectors of the different community. The nominations were reviewed and the inaugural MBK 25 was chosen. This past weekend this group was recognized at a luncheon by Mayor Hancock for their work. We would like to congratulate the inaugural MBK 25 and thank them for their commitment and continuous effort to assure that boys and young men of color are able to maximize their potential. Congratulations!
