My Brother’s Keeper (MBK) Houston brings the city together around a shared belief: every young person deserves the support and opportunity to thrive. With the Houston Health Department as our backbone, we help strengthen coordination among partners, so progress is real and lasting. Our mission and vision explain what we’re working toward and how we stay grounded in purpose while we do it.
Together, we’re building a Houston where boys and young men of color are supported, seen, and surrounded by opportunity at every stage of life.
Our Mission
Our mission is to improve life outcomes for boys and young men of color in Houston by aligning community and cross-sector partners, resources, and proven strategies across six key milestones.
Our Journey
Our Vision
We envision a Houston where every young person no matter their zip code, race, or circumstance has the resources, relationships, and opportunities to reach their full potential.
Creating that kind of Houston takes all of us. When families, neighborhoods, schools, community organizations, and local leaders work together, young people gain more than programs. They gain steady support, caring adults, and pathways that open doors over time. By staying connected and focused on what children and young people truly need, we can turn opportunity into something you can feel in every community.
Together, we are building a Houston where every child is seen, supported, and surrounded by opportunity.
