Boys of Color: The Fierce Urgency of Now!
Working intensely with 12 afterschool programs, the Institute’s goal was to build a community of practice focused on identifying and strengthening protective practices that support boys of color and other vulnerable youth in afterschool settings. This intensive institute included 18 hours of graduate-level group training, individualized technical assistance, and other supports in which participants: 1) challenged their beliefs and engaged in deep discussion about how to support boys of color; 2) reflected and planned as a cohort and by program site teams; and 3) explored the systems and structures that need to be in place at their programs to be effective. The Institute culminated with a citywide summit titled Pockets of Hope: A Summit on Protective Practices on Boys of Color in Afterschool which served as a call-to-action for the entire afterschool field, nonprofit leaders, and city and state policy makers to effectively support boys of color in afterschool settings.
