Mission
He is Me Institute ensures that Black male teachers have lifelong access to resources, experiences, and opportunities that support them as they are recruited, retained, and retire as teachers.
Vision
We envision a society in which racial wealth inequity is obsolete and where all students have the academic experience of learning from teachers of all backgrounds, especially Black men. After learning from a diverse group of instructors, children grow up better educated. As a result, they gain more access to resources & opportunities that create generational wealth and enjoy a better quality of life.
