What an amazing and action packed Saturday! Our new Keepers were inducted in front of full house at our breakfast at the Peace HUB Resource Center in Ypsi, and a huge thank you to Healing Brothers United for their presentation on Black male mental health.

CLR Academy was special as well. We were joined by acclaimed fashion designer and EMU alum Desyree Nicole as she led our youth through part one of a two part fashion design workshop.

And the day concluded with WMBK Director Jamall Bufford and WMBK steering committee member Anell Eccleston facilitating the steering committee, community members, and youth leaders in a Restorative Practices and Circles training. Congrats to those that completed the training and earned their certificates!

Saturday, April 11th we're at the Peace HUB in Ypsi! We'll be discussing Emotional Strength and Mental Strength, and the positive impacts of having strong bodies, strong minds, good health and wellness.

Also during this event, we’ll welcome the newest 'Keepers' into our brotherhood! Be part of something bigger and help us make a positive impact in our community. Let's create a future where every young person has a mentor or support system. Hope to see you all there!
