Learn and Align

Understand our approach—and join partners building pathways for Colorado's Black and Brown youth

Start With Shared Understanding

MBSK Colorado is a statewide alliance connected to the national My Brother's and Sister's Keepers movement. Before you volunteer, partner, or advocate with us, Learn and Align helps you understand how we work—and how your organization fits.

We disrupt and dismantle cumulative adverse childhood and young-adulthood experiences affecting Colorado's Black and Brown communities intergenerationally. That work is organized around the Life Course Framework: critical milestones from early childhood through young adulthood, when the right support at the right time can change outcomes.

Understand the Life Course Framework

See how MBSK Colorado maps programs and partnerships to milestones—from school readiness and grade-level reading to high school graduation, postsecondary completion, and career pathways.
