KIDS FOR THE CULTURE

 

Through Black-led discussions, activities and local outings we aim to cultivate future leaders who center Black wellness and perspective.

Our mission is to create community and spaces that champion Black culture, consciousness and empowerment of middle school and early high school-aged people.

Students who participate in our program will be given a foundation to explore the narrative around the Black experience in the United States. We aim to develop our students in all facets of life, feeling secure, capable, loved, and empowered in their identity.
