Collective Impact

The MILK serves a global mission.
– Proven Results
– Diverse Perspectives
– Resilient Solutions
At The MILK, we champion the power of collaboration. In research and education, the voices of Black, Brown, and underprivileged and underserved students and adults are often overlooked, hindering the translation of findings into meaningful solutions. Our organization has established three pivotal centers: The Center for Education, The Center for Career and Workforce Development, and The Center on Mental Health and Well-being.
These centers are not just for learning and knowledge but also for inspiring and motivating a community of educators, stakeholders, and experts. Together, we are committed to improving these student populations’ educational well-being and developing resilient solutions.
