Moments from the program
What consistency actually looks like.
MBK Connect brings Fort Worth's My Brother's Keeper and My Sister's Keeper programs together with mentors, schools, and families — so no student's progress goes unnoticed.
My Brother's Keeper began as a national call to close persistent opportunity gaps for young men of color. In Fort Worth, that call turned into a daily practice: mentors who show up, follow up, and track what actually changes for a student — not just a single motivational visit.
My Sister's Keeper extends that same model to young women, because consistent, caring adult relationships matter regardless of who's asking for help.
MBK Connect is how we keep that consistency honest. Every conversation, referral, and milestone lives in one place, so a student's story doesn't depend on any one person's memory.
Consistent presence is the first sign something is working.
Grades, credits, and progress toward graduation.
Support before a small issue becomes a bigger one.
Leadership, service, and belonging beyond the classroom.
Every student enters through their school, a community event, or a direct referral, and is matched with a mentor who stays with them.
One-on-one and group mentoring for young men, paired with college and career readiness support, home and school follow-up, and a mentor who checks in — not just at events, but week to week.
The same standard of consistent mentorship, built around the specific challenges young women in Fort Worth schools navigate — academically, socially, and at home.
