Boys & Men of Color offers an opportunity to teenagers and others an opportunity to be mentored and supported. Created in
April 2013, the organization work with Say Yes Buffalo across Buffalo but has a specific mission on the West Side to work with young
Latino and refugee men. Boys & Men of Color’s purpose is to educate, guide and
provide a safe haven for young men of color who aren’t receiving it anywhere
else. It is a goal to make sure the young men go as far as college and then
eventually become mentors in the program themselves. The group meets every Saturday at t Lafayette High
School with students from multiple schools. By Tiffany Channer and Kai Lewis
