MY BROTHERS KEEPER (MBK) TULSA

My Brothers Keeper-Tulsa was founded in 2014 by former President Barack Obama and is

have clear pathways to opportunity. ImpactTulsa serves as a strategic partner to the Obama

Foundation and stewards the implementation of My Brothers Keeper (MBK) in Tulsa. The work

through line for the collective set of efforts; and 3) driving accountability and transparency.
