CREATE ·2025 Grants ChallengeLearning While Leading in Libraries: My Brother’s Keeper Peer Advocates
LA County Library’s award-winning My Brother’s Keeper Peer Advocate program hires young people of color as part-time advisors and liaisons between Library staff and youth in communities across the County. It provides mentorship, life skill-building, and on-the-job learning while drawing on Peer Advocates’ lived experiences to develop unique Library programs tailored to local needs and interests and build community relationships. Funding will contribute to salaries and benefits and help launch new creative economy-focused programs for youth.
