For decades, racially diverse students in the United States have lagged behind their white peers in academic achievement. There is a lot of statistical data around to highlight the difference between opportunity and outcome for non-white school kids as compared to their white peers.
But there is one realisation that lies at the heart of this educational gap- The issues regarding diversity in America and its schools are quite thought-provoking, eye-opening, and most importantly, complex.

These are just some of the many gaps that exist in the way education is implemented in the US. Such observations call for immediate action, given such practices of cultural racism affect the future generations of America. Everyone deserves equal educational opportunities, and there’s much scope for you to extend help.
You can contribute to a racially just future for the American education system.

Black Homeschoolers of Central Florida, Inc. aims to inform, educate, and help other homeschooling families, namely those of color, in the Central Florida area and around the United States. The aim is to increase college access and readiness and improve self confidence among students- especially minorities, those struggling academically, financially or have a learning disability (ADHD or on the Autism Spectrum).
These kids don't have access to help. We need volunteers to record a video talking about career exploration, familiarize students with the FAFSA, the college application process, and ways and practices to be successful in post-secondary institutions. Your video will be screened to students to help them be more college and career ready and inspire them for a brighter future
