From the Bay Area to Southern California to Sacramento-San Joaquin Valley, boys and men of color are creating jobs and new career paths, securing economic equity and forging pathways to economic freedom. These leaders are shaping California into a state where everyone belongs — and showing that those closest to the problems are best equipped to create real and lasting change. We want to share these stories to unlock even greater economic opportunities.
Through the #HeretoLeadCA storytelling campaign, California Funders for Boys and Men of Color feature leaders who are influencing structural and policy changes to increase economic opportunity in their communities. #HeretoLeadCA celebrates the leadership, power and voice of multigenerational AAPI, African American, Latinx and Native American boys and men of color, and is inclusive of transgender, gender expansive and 2S/LGBTQIA+ stories.
Help us highlight the brilliance and power of boys and men of color and share their stories! Nominate someone you know who is making a difference in their communities by May 18.
