Why Teach?
The teaching profession is one of the most stable in America. Careers in education allow Black men to grow professionally and financially. With a career in education, you can impact the next generation and expand your legacy.
With an infusion of Black men in education, students perform better. With higher-performing students, communities improve access to wealth today and in future generations. Become an educator today!
He Is Me Institute is here to help you get started. Whether you are in high school looking into college majors, in college selecting your field, or in the classroom making a difference every day, He Is Me Institute works to get you to the school and keep you in the classroom, making an impact.
