President Barack Obama launched the My Brother’s Keeper (MBK) Initiative and called upon communities to address persistent opportunity gaps that exist for boys and young men of color. In 2018, Summit County Executive Ilene Shapiro accepted the Call to Action, developing MBK Summit County, with the commitment to empower and equip young men of color.
Raising the Bar was developed from a partnership between My Brother’s Keeper Summit County (County Executive Ilene Shapiro) and Judge David Hamilton. High school students receive exposure to various judicial and legal career professions, such as civil law, criminal law, and legal adjacent careers.
