- TFI OAKLAND. The Kings In The Making TFI Program is a 3 year college access program in partnership with JP Morgan Chases Fellowship Initiative (TFI). This program aims to address 3 primary college readiness issues faced by Black and Latino youth: (1)access to rigorous college preparatory courses (2) access to experienced teachers who have high levels of cultural competencies when working with boys/men of color (3) access to consistent guidance counseling to continually track students academic performance and college application process. We work with Kings starting at 10th grade through to their senior year on academic advising, tutoring, literacy and reading comprehension, financial literacy, mentorship and career and professional development.
- YPAR. Youth Participatory Action Research provides a vehicle for youth to learn and practice and acquire leadership, research and communications skills.
- FAMILY & COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENTIn many schools and educational settings, Black families find a dearth of avenues for engagement, celebration, and authentic partnership in their children's education. KOO intentionally fosters this sort of engagement with Black male students' families to ensure that they have strong networks of support for academic and life success.BLACK TEACHER RECRUITMENT AND RETENTIONKOOs model for Black male teacher recruitment, training, and retention is multipronged. Our Professional Learning Community (PLC) is where we cultivate a brotherhood of MDP facilitators across districts, to foster peer support, skill-development, and a sense of belonging (within educational systems where Black men are significantly underrepresented). But a good deal of work is taking place further upstream, as well. This year KOO made great strides in the areas of recruitment, college partnerships, and frameworks for retaining Black male teachers..CULTURALLY RELEVANT PEDAGOGY & CURRICULUMIn an express effort to counteract the Eurocentric curriculum that pervades American education, KOO delivers curricula that center the experiences, culture, and power of Black people, encouraging educators and students to tap their own transformative power Youth voice & leadershipCentering Black boys means not only making sure that their voices are heard, but that Black youth have a seat at decision-making tables in education. Some recent highlights toward this goal include joining an intergenerational event at The Well in Washington D.C., and KOOs first foray into youth participatory action research.Narrative changeFar too pervasive in American culture are deficit-based narratives that fail to uplift and recognize the inherent beauty and intelligence of Black boys. KOO is flipping that narrative, creating content and platforms that celebrate Black male brilliance. During the past year we have grown tremendously in this area of work, particularly in terms of building capacity and infrastructure for media production.
