LAUSD'S
"MY BROTHER'S KEEPER"
Implementation Plan

Picture
The Los Angeles Unified School District has joined the collaboration brought about by the Council of Great City Schools in support of President Obama's "My Brother's Keeper," initiative. As a part of that commitment, the district has drafted an Implementation plan that coordinates the efforts of departments throughout the district in an effort to produce collective-impact as it relates to improving the academic performance among young men of color.

A key component of the district's ongoing efforts is "Mentoring." The "Village Movement," headed by Wes hall and Dr. Brenda Manuel, provides adult mentors to students at various middle and high schools. The adult mentors represent a wide range of disciplines ranging from corporate leaders, employees, nonprofit, community leaders, LAUSD employees, and parents. The mentors meet with students once a month and provide group mentoring. The program has been in place since 2014.

Wes Hall, CEO of the Institute for Student Empowerment, co-authored the plan, along with Dr. Earl Perkins, Dr. Brenda Manuel, and Daryl Narimatsu. Mr. Hall and Dr. Brenda Manuel co-created the Young Men of Color Initiative for the district.
