MBK Alliance leads a cross-sector national call to action focused on building safe and supportive communities for boys and young men of color where they feel valued and have clear pathways to opportunity. Their mission is to realize a vision where all of America's boys and young men of color are seen as critical to the nation's success, thereby creating a brighter future not just for this demographic, but for the country as a whole.
Freedom Summer is a grant program initiated by the Obama Foundation's My Brother’s Keeper Alliance, designed to support local organizations in reducing violence in Chicago communities. The program aims to create and expand safe spaces and programming for boys and young men of color to learn, play, and engage during the summer, a time when violent crime rates typically peak in Chicago. With a total fund of $1 million, the Freedom Summer initiative offers $30,000 grants to qualifying local organizations. This support is intended not only as financial assistance but also as an investment in the potential growth and success of young men of color in Chicago, in line with the MBK Alliance’s commitment to ensuring all youth remain safe from violent crime.
