What does it mean to be an official MBK community?
Is my community “on track”?
Who is doing this work near me?
We’ve gotten questions like these from so many of you, and we want to do a better job of answering them. In conversations with community leaders across the country, a few key needs keep coming up:
Clear expectations around what it means to be an MBK Community
Meaningful, two-way engagement from MBK Alliance
Best practices to help build, improve, and scale initiatives that serve boys and young men of color
Connection and resource-sharing with other MBK Communities
Opportunities to celebrate successes and troubleshoot challenges
While general resources will be available to the public on MBK Alliance’s new website, only registered MBK Communities will receive the following:
National and Regional Convenings
Invite-only convenings for community leaders, young people, and influencers focused on innovation, progress and the path forward.
Curated Funding Opportunities
Curated list of funding opportunities to support your work and the work of other MBK communities across the country.
Technical Assistance
Webinars that will equip you with some of the tools and information needed to strengthen the MBK foundation in your community.
MBK University
