In addition to improving outcomes for boys and men of color in Sacramento, the MBK Sacramento Collaborative strives to provide opportunities for local young men to grow in leadership skills and job preparedness, and to inform and advance work in the field.
The Youth Fellowship is an opportunity for young men of color ages 16 to 24 who desire to lead community change, build brotherhood and take their leadership skills to the next level. Youth Fellows receive a stipend for completion of program requirements.
