Why Boys of Color Rise?
"We founded Boys Of Color Rise because young boys of color face unprecedented challenges and missed opportunities. So, we are committed to empowering them to become more active, engaged, and responsible citizens. By providing them with the resources, support, and opportunities they need to succeed, and to foster an environment where they can thrive academically, socially, and emotionally, young boys of color will be able to reach their full potential. We are here to inspire and with the power of community, education, and mentorship, together we will uplift the next generation to future leaders of tomorrow."​
