The Commission serves policymakers and public interest groups, as well as the media, community organizations and members of the general public.
About Us:
The Gary Commission on the Social Status of Black Males has continued to be successful while trying to aid in decreasing the problems that Black males face in the areas of criminal justice, education, employment, health and social factors.
The Gary Commission has been in partnership with elected officials, community leaders, policy makers and the faith based community to serve Black males and resolve issues in these five areas. The Commission seeks out opportunities to partner and enhance existing programs in the community that are working and making a difference for Black males.
The Gary Commission on the Social Status of Black Males is committed to helping to build strong Black men. In the five focus areas the Commission’s mission is to develop strategies and remedies to counter the negative statistics and make recommendations to improve the quality of life for Black males.
