#CCPipeline: 13 Young Philanthropists Teach 30 Black & Latino Boys to Develop Good Character
On May 8, 2014, Capital Cause partnered with Paul Charter School to to host “My Brother’s Keeper…Responding to the Call.” This kickoff event involved the DC community in talking about President Obama’s “My Brother’s Keeper” initiative.
Capital Cause was one of many community organizations that hosted workshops for Black and Latino boys. During the Capital Cause workshop, 13 Young Philanthropists taught 30 young boys how to be men of good character, a responsible citizen and a giver. Through small group discussion, the boys were able to ask men about their personal and philanthropic experiences. The event culminated in a panel about the initiative, with thought leaders:
