In February, the Mayor’s Office of Black Male Engagement hosted the Brotherhood Empowerment Leadership Summit, bringing together 100 young Black men committed to growth and leadership.

A government you can see, touch, and feel.
At YouthBuild, opportunity didn’t wait it showed up.
From pre-apprenticeships to college pathways to municipal careers, our young men connected with real options in real time.
Applications were open. Doors were open. Futures are open.
This is what access looks like.
This is what empowerment feels like.
