Vision, Mission, and Shared Core Values
Mission, vision, and MBK Equity Framework values guiding MBSK Colorado's statewide backbone work
MBSK Colorado's vision is to be a national leader in creating opportunity and access for Black and Brown youth to become innovative and effective change-makers.
MBSK Colorado's mission is to disrupt and dismantle cumulative adverse childhood and young-adulthood experiences that affect Colorado's Black and Brown communities intergenerationally.
We advance that mission as a statewide backbone—convening cross-sector partners, coordinating shared strategies, and strengthening data-informed accountability across education, health, justice, and economic mobility.
Our shared values reflect the MBK Equity Framework that guides our work across Colorado.
Young Voices Have Power
Young people help shape priorities, programs, and the policies that affect their lives.
Together, We Win
Lasting change happens when communities, partners, and systems work toward shared goals.
Proven Solutions
We invest in evidence-based practices and data-driven decisions that improve real life outcomes.
Equity-Driven
We confront systems of inequity and advance racial equity—not equality alone.
Policy Focus
Durable progress requires policy alignment, advocacy, and accountable implementation statewide.
Disrupt Historic Barriers
We challenge fragmented policies and siloed structures that perpetuate intergenerational harm.
Generational Impact
Our work is life-course focused—supporting young people from early childhood through young adulthood.
Results Matter
We measure what matters and hold ourselves accountable to the communities we serve.
