MBSK Colorado Community
Building partnerships to support Colorado's Black and Brown youth
MBSK Colorado Community
The MBSK Colorado Community serves as a statewide leader and collaborator for youth of color and the agencies, schools, businesses, and community organizations that support them. We help bridge gaps across Colorado's resources to build a more complete, aligned approach to intergenerational trauma and systemic barriers—and to strengthen life-course outcomes for Black and Brown communities.
Resource Groups
Alliance Leadership Cabinet
This group is the center and leader of the alliance, with a joint understanding of the impact of racialized trauma across our systems and a shared vision for transformative change (MBSKSF, 2019). The Alliance Leadership Cabinet guides alignment, coordination, and shared accountability across community organizations, city, county, state, and youth leaders.
Thirty-three champions—drawn from a diverse cross-section of partners—build community, lift best practices, and hold one another accountable. For continuity, champions are asked to serve a minimum of 18 months, committing organizational and individual expertise to the Colorado Alliance. The cabinet is advanced, supported, and held accountable by a backbone of facilitators, fellows, and advisors aligned with the national My Brother's Keeper Alliance framework.
The Alliance Leadership Cabinet advances practical plans to:
- Make local, county, and state government services more equitable for residents.
- Advise partners to use an equity lens in delivering services and ensure community involvement across government decisions.
- Showcase people, ideas, and communities at the vanguard of equity work in Colorado and nationally.
- Inspire courageous conversation on equity in education, health, technology, criminal justice, transportation, housing, and related topics.
- Build bonds that place accountability and capacity at the center of the Alliance's work, elevating high-risk places and populations.
- Create race- and gender-specific targeted programming with partners.
(MBSKSF, 2019)
Alliance Advisory Groups
The Alliance Cabinet breaks down into monthly sub-advisory groups to promote and drive its initiatives in collaboration with MBSK Colorado initiative leaders, departments, and programs. Advisory groups serve as a resource to nonprofit leaders—a sounding board and platform for future initiatives in each strategic area.
More information on advisory group participation is coming soon.
