MY BROTHER’S KEEPER

On October 1, 2021 Uniondale was accepted as a New York State Education Department recognized My Brother's Keeper (MBK) Community.  This recognition comes with the commitment to execute programs and strategies designed to improve outcomes for boys and young men of color, and all youth to help realize their full potential.  We look forward to working with students, alumni, families and community-based organizations to implement the goals and objectives of our MBK Community Action Plan.
