My Brother’s Keeper Newark (MBKN) was established in 2014 when Mayor Ras Baraka’s office accepted President Barack Obama’s Call to Action from the My Brother’s Keeper Alliance.
Over the last five years, My Brother’s Keeper Newark (MBKN) has kept a laser focus on closing opportunity gaps for boys and young men of color. In 2019, MBKN was embedded within Newark Opportunity Youth Network to lead the organization’s policy and systems change work, to build systems of support, and to create new pathways for continuing education, job training and employment.
