Our vision is one of collective empowerment, where Black children and youth benefit from inclusive research and strengthened community partnerships. Each event invites you to participate, share, and engage in meaningful conversations that advance the well-being of Black youth.
The Black Youth Mentorship and Leadership Program invites high school and undergraduate students to participate in mentorship activities designed to provide hands-on research experience and connect with community leaders and researchers during the summer of 2025.
Program Highlights:
- Gain practical skills in research and leadership.
- Contribute meaningfully to community initiatives.
- Explore new interests in an inclusive environment.
Participants will develop pathways for future academic and professional success, taking ownership of their potential as future scholars and leaders.
High School Mentee Testimonial: Burhan Hassan
“When you grow up as a Black individual, people often view you differently. For me, it was mainly teachers who made assumptions about what I could or couldn’t do. But this program helped me realize that I could do a lot.”
