Emerging Black Male Leaders Project
In August 2010, we will launch an initiative to better support the success of young African-American men in developing their leadership capacities. We will pilot a program in Baltimore, MD, Chicago, IL and Milwaukee, WI that supports 18 African-American men as fellows in a comprehensive leadership program. Core to their experience will be an internship with a local youth development organization where they will work directly with teenagers to positively impact their communities and build personal visions for their future. The Program Director serves as a facilitator, thought partner and lead administrator of the pilot.
