He is Me Institute Executive Director Statement
Why aim to go back to something that we know doesn’t work? Instead, let’s let local community centers be the solution to our schools’ most pressing safety and equity issues.
We're looking for a Founding Program Director (PD) to begin working late summer/early fall 2020! As the PD you will be an essential thought leader for the early development of He is Me Institute and will perform a variety of critical functions for this start-up organization.
When Black boys grow up in the presence of father figures, they tend to fare better in school and in life, according to researchers at Harvard University and Princeton University. Yet over 70% of Black children grow up in single-mother homes. Additionally, 77% of the teaching force is female, and 80% of our nation’s teachers are White. Where does this leave our Black boys? Underrepresented, misunderstood, and underprepared.
