Parenting Journey
Through guided discussions and activities, Parenting Journey helps parents and caregivers discover their inner strengths and develop a personalized approach to raising their children. This evidence-based, 12-week program equips participants to create a parenting style that aligns with their unique vision and values. Along the way, they build meaningful connections with other parents, develop resilience, and learn essential skills to nurture both themselves and their children.
The Ogletree Academy
The MBK Ogletree Academy provides a transformative space for middle school boys to explore essential themes of identity, justice, and personal development. Through engaging project-based learning and facilitated discussions, the program helps participants to develop critical thinking skills, emotional resilience, and a strong sense of self. Weekly sessions combine practical skill-building with deeper explorations of race, equity, and excellence, helping middle school boys navigate challenges while building the confidence to create positive change. Named in honor of civil rights champion Charles Ogletree, the Academy reflects MBK Cambridge's commitment to nurturing the next generation of leaders who are equipped with the tools, knowledge, and self-awareness needed to thrive as global citizens.
Community Conversations
Our Community Conversations serve as vital forums for meaningful dialogue and connection. These carefully curated events bring together diverse voices from Cambridge and beyond to explore critical issues affecting our society, from educational equity to social justice, economic opportunity to mental health awareness. Through expert-led panel discussions and facilitated conversations, we create safe spaces where participants can engage in open dialogue, share experiences, and build understanding across different perspectives. Our conversations, often featuring local leaders, educators, and community advocates, go beyond surface-level discussion to address systemic challenges while identifying pathways for positive change. These gatherings exemplify our commitment to strengthening community bonds and fostering collective growth through education, advocacy, and authentic engagement.
Liberation Libraries
We thoughtfully collect books by Black and Brown authors so the Liberation Libraries can create spaces for community connection and literary exploration. These library boxes, located throughout Cambridge, offer titles for readers of all ages and invite everyone to discover new worlds through diverse perspectives. Along the way, participants engage with literature that expands their horizons, challenges boundaries, and nurtures a love of reading. The program celebrates literacy as a pathway to imagination, empowerment, and community building, making books and dreams accessible to all.
