Empowerment Network

As an #MBKModelCommunity, Empowerment Network has worked to close opportunity gaps for boys and young men of color. Now, leaders like University of Nebraska at Omaha Senior, Denzell Dial, are continuing that mission as #MBKAmbassadors. We’re excited to see the impact he will make in Omaha and beyond! #EmpowermentNetwork #WeAreMBK #MBKAlliance #MBKOmaha #StepUpOmaha

At The Empowerment Network, we are inspired by Dr. King’s vision of unity and interconnectedness: "We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly." These words remind us that rebuilding the village requires all of us working together. Today, let’s honor Dr. King’s legacy by continuing to create opportunities, build stronger communities, and uplift one another. #EmpowermentNetwork #MLKDay #RebuildingTheVillage
