ABOUT PROGRAMS The Center Discover DONATE

Hi there,  Last week the My Brother’s Keeper Alliance celebrated its 11th anniversary. That’s more than one decade of transformative programming and initiatives in service of boys and young men of color. Today, the MBK Alliance is incredibly excited to further that work by introducing the first cohort of MBK Ambassadors! The MBK Ambassadors program is an initiative dedicated to cultivating the next generation of brilliant leaders. Through immersive mentorship and service-learning, the MBK Ambassadors program aims to create meaningful impact for boys and young men of color across MBK’s six key milestones. This group of 18 young brothers includes participants from MBK’s four model communities and our first tribal Certified Community, all of whom are dedicated to imparting positive change in the world around them. Learn more about our inspiring young men. Each MBK Ambassador was nominated and selected based upon his community involvement and commitment to doing the work necessary to reach his maximum potential. As part of the program, our Ambassadors will participate in virtual and in-person convenings, brother-to-brother sessions, MBK events, and community projects all tailored to promote a spirit of collaboration and leadership amongst the cohort. Additionally, our Ambassadors will receive a stipend to work with MBK Certified Community leads to implement impactful, evidence-based practices for community-centered initiatives. Our MBK Ambassadors are representative of the power of unity and brotherhood and the tangible difference each can make in the life of a young person. We look forward to further enriching the lives of these young men as they work to drive real change in their communities. I look forward to sharing more about the stories, experiences, and impact of our MBK Ambassadors as they matriculate through our program. Thank you for being part of this important work!  In hope and faith,  —Adren Dr. Adren Wilson Vice President, Youth Opportunity Programs Executive Director, My Brother’s Keeper Alliance    ⓒ 2025 Obama Foundation
