Obama launches My Brother’s Keeper Alliance to help young men of color
President Barack Obama announced in NYC the launch of the foundation My Brother’s Keeper Alliance, an organization to help minority young men

In the wake of Baltimore’s unrest, President Barack Obama announced in NYC the launch of the foundation My Brother’s Keeper Alliance, an organization to help young men of color by improving education, training and job placement in poor communities across the country.
My Brother’s Keepers Alliance will focus on improving early childhood education, keeping Black and Latino boys out of the criminal justice system, and on preparing young men to be more successful when entering the workforce, President Obama said.
President Obama made the announcement at Lehman College in the Bronx with young men who credited their mentors for overcoming obstacles.
“The future will be in good hands as long as we are giving them the love and the support that they need,” Obama said.
My Brother’s Keeper Alliance, is an outgrowth of Obama’s year-old My Brother’s Keeper initiative, which has focused on federal government policies and grants designed to increase access to education and jobs.
