Black and Belonging Details
The Black and Belonging collaborative is a close-knit network of award-winning and equity-focused scholars, educators, administrators, and youth leaders. Our mission is to disrupt structural aspects of school environments that leave marginalized students vulnerable to anxieties about belonging. We build with educators. We work with and empower young people. We create opportunities for all students to feel that their educational experiences are being structured especially for them.Our customized workshops, consultations, evaluation measures, and mentoring opportunities cultivate a sense of leadership, agency, voice, and self-expression among youth from culturally, ethnically, and linguistically diverse backgrounds. At its heart, Black and Belonging is about collaborating with communally-oriented people who are ready to "unschool" school, making educational spaces places where young people want to be and want to learn.
