The City of Pittsburg is committed to improving outcomes for boys and men of color by implementing a localized My Brother’s Keeper (MBK) initiative. MBK is an initiative of former President Obama that seeks to address the opportunity gaps that boys and young men of color encounter to ensure that all young people feel supported as they pursue a promising future and a healthy life.

In October of 2023, MBK Pittsburg officially received certification with the national My Brother's Keeper Alliance.  MBK Pittsburg has 3 prioritized areas of focus that will guide the development of the MBK Pittsburg Local Action Plan, which serves as the blueprint for continued measurable progress, collective impact, and allocation of financial and other resources to sustain the work.  The priority areas are:

• Milestone 4: Completing Post-Secondary Education or Training
• Milestone 5: All Youth Out of School Are Employed
• Milestone 6: All Youth Remain Safe From Violent Crime
