On Thursday, the Obama Foundation announced the winners of the My Brother’s Keeper Challenge Competition, naming 19 community organizations across the nation that will receive money and support for expanding and launching programs to reduce violence, and to establish clear paths to opportunity for young men and boys of color.

The California winners were the Liberty Hill Foundation/MBK LA County, the Sierra Health Foundation/MBK Sacramento, and the Urban Strategies Council/MBK Oakland.

Two out of nine smaller “National Seed” grants were awarded to RYSE in Richmond, CA and the Youth Leadership Institute – Fresno Boys and Men of Color.
