We Are Our Brothers' Keepers

President Obama launched My Brother’s Keeper in February 2014 to address persistent opportunity gaps facing boys and young men of color and to ensure all youth can reach their full potential. Today, the work continues as the MBK Alliance, an initiative of the Obama Foundation. Within the Obama Foundation, MBK Alliance focuses on building safe and supportive communities for boys and young men of color where they feel valued and have clear pathways to opportunity.

Get Involved with the Alliance

We started My Brother’s Keeper so that every boy and young man of color in America would know that their dreams mattered as much as any other child’s.
