My Project

MBK, My Brother's Keeper is a mentoring group designed by the NYC Department of Education to help build and inspire young men of character to respect themselves. In addition to respecting every person that they come in contact with regardless of age or culture and hold them accountable for their own actions.

We meet every Tuesday and Wednesday for the weekly activities selected by our very own District 29 Superintendent.

In order to be successful in these areas of the program we are in need of art and staionary supplies that can help support the young men. The young men are between grades 3-5 and are learning how to be supportive of one another as brothers in their school environemnt.
