Racial Identity Development Group
District educators have created a learning and leadership opportunity focused around racial identity development and advocacy. In collaboration with caring adults, selected students will work to meet the following objectives:
- To learn about their own racial identity, the racial identities of others, and how racial constructs inform societal norms and outcomes
- To formulate amongst male students a progressive understanding about race and identity
- To empower high school males to advocate for racial/social justice and become leaders for social justice
- To empower male students to positively influence the narrative about race in our community
- To facilitate a process for high school males to pay it forward and act as mentors to the younger generation and to continue this into adulthood
- To provide mentors to younger students who can help them be color brave and not color blind in school and the community
