Four New Rochelle High School students have been inducted as New York State Education Department My Brother's Keeper (MBK) Fellows. The four were identified as leaders in our community. As MBK Fellows, they will have mentorship opportunities in government, education, and business. MBK helps boys and young men of color — and all students — realize their full potential. Congratulations to Hector Jesus Suarez, Juan Barajas, Ezekiel Ankrah, and, Stephen Philippeau, shown from left in the photo!
Each Fellow will be matched with a mentor from New York State My Brother’s Keeper Community Network partner and given a fellowship opportunity. Each Fellow will also be required to develop and execute a service project related to a program initiative, such as:
- Ensuring equitable access to high-quality schools and programs;
- Expanding prevention, early warning, and intervention services;
- Responding to structural and institutional racism; or
- Engaging families and communities in a trusted and respectful way.
Congratulations again!
