Join ACF Dec. 3 to learn more
about My Brother's Keeper
In response to President Obama's challenge for cities, towns, counties and Tribes across the country to become "MBK Communities," the Arizona Community Foundation, through its Latinos Unidos and Black Philanthropy initiatives, invites you to join an upcoming community conversation about the My Brother's Keeper initiative. Join us for an event on Wednesday, December 3, that will begin with a panel discussion among recent high school and college graduates led by Gary Trujillo, President and CEO of Be a Leader Foundation.
The event's featured speaker, Deputy Secretary of the U.S. Department of Education Jim Shelton, will discuss issues facing young men of color and describe ways to connect them with mentoring and support networks to develop the skills needed to graduate from college and succeed in their future careers. The conversation will aim to galvanize support for the six goals of this White House Challenge:
|
|
Ensuring all children enter school cognitively, physically, socially and emotionally ready.
|
|
|
Ensuring all children read at grade level by 3rd grade.
|
|
|
Ensuring all youth graduate from high school.
|
|
|
Ensuring all youth complete post-secondary education or training.
|
|
|
Ensuring all youth out of school are employed.
|
|
