Bloomberg’s Young Men’s Initiative
Mayor Bloomberg asked David Banks, President of the Eagle Academy Foundation and founder of the first all-boysÂ
public school in 30 years, and, Ana Oliveira, President of the New York Women’s Foundation, an organization thatÂ
supports families and communities in New York City, to report back to him on what the City could do to illuminate theÂ
barriers that black and Latino young men encounter, the disparities between them and their peers, and what we couldÂ
do to connect young men of color to opportunities they could seize. To underscore the seriousness of the charge, theÂ
Mayor assigned Deputy Mayor Linda Gibbs and then-Deputy Mayor Dennis Walcott to work with David and Ana toÂ
engage City agencies from the start.Â
The following report presents the cumulative research, findings, and recommendations from the two co-chairs, DavidÂ
Banks and Ana Oliveira
