Initiatives

Our Work

01

Cultural Programs

The Kalamazoo Black Male Alliance offers a variety of cultural programs that aim to address the unique challenges that Black men face through Kalamazoo. Our programs provide opportunities for Black males to come together, network, and learn from one another. Some of the benefits of these programs include increased self-confidence, improved communication skills, and better problem-solving skills.

02

Educational Programs

The KBMA provides interactive, educational program aimed at building, identifying, and developing the strengths and social emotional skills of participants supported by an alliance of Black males across Kalamazoo that is facilitated by the KBMA. This initiative aims to build rapport between the adults that serve and support these students during in-school and out-of-school time while developing connections that will result in strong community bonds.

03

Networking

We believe community is important, and we want you to be a part of ours. Our networking events provide Black males with an opportunity to come together and learn from one another. These events allow participants to share their experiences and learn about the accomplishments and even the challenges that other Black males in the area have overcome.

The State of Kalamazoo for Black Males Annual Report

In order to better serve the Black Male population in Kalamazoo, we developed an annual report in partnership with community as a tool to identify the experiences and needs of Black males.
