My Brothers and Sisters Keeper (MBSK) Fun At Home Initiative

YDI’s entire team is working from home, but we are continuing to support young people and practitioners to ensure that folks are building on the critical relationships that help us all feel connected. This is especially vital during this time of crisis and disconnection. That’s why YDI’s youth council, the My Brothers and Sisters Keeper council (MBSK), sponsored by the city’s Department of Youth and Community Development (DYCD), is partnering with Urban Word NYC to create, host and promote a series of virtual Poetry Slams and Open Mics. It’s all part of the city’s newly launched Fun at Home digital platform that aims to provide engaging events and activities for young people.
