Project Title: Black History Leadership Program
Project Description:

The Black History Project is dedicated to cultivating the next generation of leaders through interactive Black history education. Our approach is innovative yet effective, as we empower students through education, civic engagement, and career readiness and life skills. By engaging them in the legacy of Black leaders who came before them, our certified educators inspire students to become agents of change in their communities. Our team of experienced and credentialed facilitators utilize interactive lesson plans, activities, and non-traditional educational lectures to equip our youth with the knowledge and tools to ignite social action and become the next generation of leaders.
As a 501c3 non-profit, our organization adheres to the highest standards of excellence. All facilitators are trained educators with the credentials and expertise necessary to deliver our curriculum, and all staff and volunteers undergo a thorough background check to participate.
This 10-month program will be provided in three areas across Orange and Seminole Counties, providing students with leadership development skills through Black history lessons, activities, and discussions. Each month, students will meet once in person and twice virtually to explore a different topic in Black history, followed by a thought-provoking conversation with our trained facilitators. Students will then have the opportunity to showcase what they have learned through group activity and presentation. In-person sessions will be 2 hours long, and virtual sessions will provide additional exploration into the topic, including leadership skills that can be applied to their current and future professional endeavors. Additionally, students will be added to our listserv, where they will receive additional reading material and invitations to our book club and other activities that promote continued learning and growth in their leadership skills.
