Appendix A.4. My Brother’s Keeper Initiative

Established by President Obama in 2014, the My Brother's Keeper Initiative is an interagency effort to improve measurably the expected educational and life outcomes for and address the persistent opportunity gaps faced by boys and young men of color. The Initiative established a task force to develop a coordinated federal effort to identify the public and private efforts that are working and how to expand upon them.

The My Brother's Keeper Task Force and the Federal Interagency Forum on Child and Family Statistics have collected federal statistics on a number of national level indicators to provide an initial snapshot of young people's well-being across multiple domains, including health, nutrition, poverty, education, economic opportunity, criminal justice and more. A selection of these data may be accessed at http://www2.ed.gov/rschstat/statistics/surveys/mbk/index.html.
