About Us


MBSK Colorado is a nonprofit organization dedicated to disrupting and dismantling the cumulative adverse childhood and young adulthood experiences that affect Colorado's Black and Brown communities intergenerationally.

Around the nation, a dynamic model for regional coordination of neighborhood engagement has appeared to advance positive outcomes for youth of Color. The "Backbone" model braids together vibrant, responsive, relational efforts of hyper-local leaders with the infrastructure of larger organizations.

At MBSK Colorado, we are working to improve the youth of color outcomes through regional and neighborhood place-based partnership efforts and community-based groups. MBSK Colorado serves as a state leader and backbone for our youth of Color and the various agencies, community organizations, educational systems, and business leaders across the state.

It aligns us back to Obama's challenge goals with major initiatives /agenda items in Colorado's Black and Brown community, the recommendations given by the Gaining Ground Report.
