MBK Ambassadors share a common commitment to creating positive change in their communities.
Eighteen young men from across the country—each a natural leader among their peers—are stepping up to help build safe, supportive communities where boys and young men of color can thrive. As the inaugural cohort of MBK Ambassadors, they will serve as role models, advocates, and changemakers in their communities. These young men are carrying forward the mission of My Brother’s Keeper Alliance to foster change through mentorship, service-learning, and community impact.
The first-ever cohort represents a diverse group of young men, including four from MBK model communities and one from MBK’s first tribal Certified Community. Over the next two years, these Ambassadors will work closely with Certified Community leads, applying best practices and evidence-based strategies to make real, lasting change.
The MBK Ambassadors will lead community projects, advocate for policy changes, and participate in MBK events to support the six MBK milestones. They will also participate in hands-on service, develop leadership skills through mentorship, and collaborate with Certified Community leads to implement impactful, community-centered programs. Their work will amplify the voices of boys and young men of color and strengthen local efforts to create safer, more supportive environments.
