8 <br /> The My Brother's Keeper Task Force Report presented to the President identified six (6) milestones for <br /> local responses to consider in designing and developing their individual action plans so that all young <br /> Americans have the tools and opportunities to reach their full potential. Recognizing that youth programs <br /> and mentoring resources are in progress and available in Orange County, the Orange MBK Community <br /> Challenge team narrowed the focus and adopted the following 3 priority areas: <br /> 1. Ensuring all youth graduate from high school <br /> 2. Ensuring all youth complete post-secondary education or training <br /> 3. Ensuring all youth out of school are employed <br /> In addition, the guiding framework of MBK Orange County will be one that promotes Racial and Ethnic <br /> Equity+ Social Inclusion. MBK Orange County will work to ensure that distinct groups of people are not <br /> excluded from access to programs and initiatives, basic security and human rights. This includes <br /> indigenous peoples; people of African descent; women; lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) <br /> persons; youth; and people with disabilities. <br /> If we are to break the pattern of declining social, economic, and educational status of males of color in <br /> our society, it is imperative that a focused, coordinated initiative be organized to identify and support <br /> those boys who can be successful when given the opportunity to pursue the best lives possible.The intent <br /> of MBK Orange is to augment or intensify the work in progress, as opposed to starting a new program, <br /> based on data and findings. A backbone organization will leverage stakeholders, manage workflow, and <br /> capture outcomes to ensure progress towards goals (illustrated below). <br /> t\\‘1\\\\\\.‘, <br /> tv oit A \ <br /> 14,%Oili% \\ <br /> �i»���1,14,06 iii <br /> Ati <br /> 1\i'D n 6, , I 0 i <br /> I,r ��, 9 ft�u <br /> 0��� � 11 \\ \\$ 1�\\„\ <br /> \\\ <br /> 11 11 <br /> 1 1� 1%��114111��!11110 � '1�%ti111\11t �" ��a <br /> \\V 1\l � tT 11v�1�1111�1°l�����\111 W�,11�\01�Vhlll\111° <br /> 6 <br />
