The Brothers Reaching Out Project represents the efforts of the BMI to identify, and make public information on available resources for Black males and the broader black community in California and across the country. The BMI recognizes the amazing work being done by programs and organizations across the country as vitally important to improving the life chances on Black males. The project seeks to facilitate the development of partnerships and information sharing among these entities.
