Partner with he is me institute
We seek to partner with public or private schools, school districts, youth-serving organizations, colleges, or teacher training programs to create space for current, aspiring, and former Black male teachers to explore their identities, dissect barriers and opportunities, and cultivate relationships with other Black male teachers.
