Cultivate positive identity formation, encourage young people to confront racial and ethnic injustice, and prepare them to live and work together in a diverse world. Our resources can help facilitate discussions about race and guide students through lessons on systems of oppression, economic inequality, mass incarceration, the complexities of identity and more.
“We may be uncomfortable talking about race, but we can no longer afford to be silent. We have chosen a profession that—like parenting—requires us to put our comforts second to those of children.”
