In 2016, the Forte Foundation launched a 'Men as Allies' initiative to help engage male-identifying students in supporting gender equity. As a result, Kellogg's Manbassadors was founded in 2017 focused on promoting gender equity by actively bringing men into the conversation and promoting allyship. Most recently in 2020, we rebranded to the Gender Equity Network (GEN) to expand the conversation beyond men and to advocate for equity across the gender spectrum
Our mission is to engage, equip, and empower Kellogg students and JVs to be supportive allies for gender equity both in and out of the workplace
