BMOC are essential to sustaining innovation and economic vitality in Connecticut and around our nation. Yet, we often lose them to poor health conditions long before they reach their fullest potential. As a result, we established CT’s first Multisector Alliance for Health Equity among BMOC, which culminated in the production of the 2018 statewide report card on health equity in boys and men of color – a document that is being leveraged by leaders to transform care delivery processes.
Join the HDI team and the Boys & Men of Color Alliance in participating in UConn Gives, the fourth annual giving day for UConn! UConn Gives will be taking place on March 30-31, 2022. For 36 hours, all of UConn Nation will be coming together to support the university we love.

We take a collective impact approach to design youth-centered, community-led initiatives, and arts-based strategies. Our goal is to help BMOC radically heal, grow, and thrive.
Donating to the BMOC Health Equity Fund will support several initiatives enabling boys and men of color to live their healthiest lives. These initiatives include, but are not limited to:
- Peer mental health support training for BMOC undergraduate students.
Art-based health equity community programs focused on changing deficit narratives about BMOC - Digital health equity curriculum and syllabus development to support social emotional learning among BMOC in CT elementary, middle, and high schools
- Cutting-edge mobile health applications to support early disease detection and prevention
