Closing Opportunity Gaps for Young Men of Color: The State of Mentorship and Youth Development Post-2020

Thursday, April 22, 2021
5:30 pm – 6:45 pm EDT/GMT-4 
Online Event

In the midst of the 2020 global pandemic, waves of nation-wide protests prompting urgent and frank conversations about race and social justice in this country. As COVID-19 exacerbated systemic inequalities, the opportunity gaps faced by young people across the country widened at an alarming rate—and yet, 2020 also gave rise to creative problem solving and nimble decision making like never before. Join us for a conversation that explores the unique position of youth development and mentorship in communities of color in a post-COVID world; and how the growing movement in defense of Black lives is affecting inclusion amongst young people trying to successfully navigate and thrive in predominantly white institutions and spaces.

Panelists:
Michael Blake
Vice Chair of the Democratic National Committee

Brandon Micheal Hall
Activist, star of God Friended Me and HBO’s Search Party

Wes Moore
CEO of the Robin Hood Foundation

Angel Obergh ’23
Brothers@ Mentor and Campus Leader

Moderators:
Shawn Dove
CEO of Campaign for Black Male Achievement

Dariel Vasquez
CEO of Brothers@
