The Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC) has committed to improving outcomes for young men and boys of color with the launch of the My Brother’s Keeper-Michigan initiative.
MCSC received a three-year, $465,000 grant from the Corporation for National and Community Service, which MCSC is using to assist four organizations in leveraging volunteers and support innovative collaboration between public and private organizations. The funded organizations include VIP Mentoring in Detroit, the Youth Development Commission in Detroit, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Flint, and One Love Global in Lansing.
“Michigan's My Brother’s Keeper initiative aims to break down barriers to success and promote increased opportunities for youth,” MCSC Executive Director Ginna Holmes said. “It will assist with developing innovative approaches to continue to make progress for all youth, including boys and young men of color.”
The four organizations qualified for the grants by submitting proposals that included plans to convene a minimum of three collaborative organizations. The engaged youth will receive mentoring and also serve as volunteers, empowered to make a difference in their communities.
