Reach role model applications have rolled in
There has been a fantastic response to the recruitment campaign to establish a national group of Black male role models - with over 250 applications from across the length and breadth of the country from successful Black men from a wide range of careers and industries. A major national search to recruit Black male role models got underway this summer with Communities Secretary Hazel Blears calling for motivational Black and mixed heritage men to take a lead in inspiring the next generation of Black boys to achieve and succeed. Communities and Local Government will now work with a group of approximately 40 Black Boys and Young black men to make an initial sift of the applications, selecting a shortlist of at least 40 of the most dynamic and inspiring of the candidates.
