My Nonprofit Reviews

I raised funds then ultimately joined the Teaching For Change Board because I believed the unbiased teaching of lessons could turn a dim past into a brighter future. Growing up in the South as a Black Gay boy amounted to series of "missed opportunities"of exposure and empowerment. The full narratives of Baldwin, Rustin and Hughes, escaped me, others like me and others unlike me, all who would've benefitted greatly from the lessons of personal strength, tolerance and acceptance they taught. Exposure to these international heroes would certainly have opened my eyes to the local heroes that we saw everyday. The ideals of community stewardship, service and civic responsibility should be taught and given value, just as we teach and give value to money and the aforementioned would be the gold-standard to which we measured. This is what is most valuable to us and when you empower our teachers to teach these lessons, they plant the seeds of an informed citizenry.
