To me, this program is an opportunity to break down barriers. It's about not being overlooked or disregarded as students and especially within the community, it's about having a space to interact and see people who look like me and share the same experiences in an area where we are such a minority.

The Black Excellence Program offers elementary and secondary school students a supportive, identity-affirming space where they can explore their interests, connect with peers and advance their achievement and well-being.
