> Dear Colleagues,
> 
> President Obama today outlined his plan to expand opportunity for boys and young men of color through the My Brother’s Keeper initiative. We are proud to announce that Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS) CEO Wendy Spencer will be a member of the new federal task force that the President is forming.
> 
> The ideas behind this initiative are part of the President’s pledge to make 2014 a “year of action” to ensure opportunity for all Americans. We lead programs through AmeriCorps and the Social Innovation Fund (SIF) that provide solutions which can make My Brother’s Keeper a success. These dedicated resources are making a difference in the lives of boys and young men of color who need our support.
> 
> Young men from our SIF grantees Becoming a Man/Youth Guidance, Latin American Youth Center, KIPP DC, and Communities in Schools proudly stood on stage behind the President during the announcement at the White House. These SIF-funded programs represent the type of evidence-based solutions the President is seeking to identify and spread.

> Wendy has authored a blog in which she further discusses CNCS’s role in the My Brother’s Keeper initiative. By supporting this plan of action, we can ensure that boys and young men of color have every opportunity to achieve their dreams.
