As year 4 of our Superhero Diversity Camp approaches, we've become more and more intentional with our offerings. With a hyperfocus on the advancement of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, this year we are adopting the Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs to allow our students to attain self-actualization in order to be the best leaders needed for OUR communities. Our weekly selected superheroes are intentional and essential!

We're still on the path of developing our community superheroes. With a focus on Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) our students are provided the space to actually feel every emotion that consumes them. We take them through interactive and reflective activites that allow them to analyze their emotions and find an outlet to positively express those emotions. An additional component to our superhero curriculum puts students in a leadership role that allows them to find the lemons within their community, personal lives, and school and turn it into lemonade.

As the year progresses, we utilize the skills of our staff and community resources to ensure our students are maintaining satisfactory grades.

In partnership with Power Youth, Digital Black is a paid internship that reaches out to our minority and underserved high school students to empower and prepare youth to enter into a field of work that lacks diverse representation, known as Coding. Students will partake in many areas of coding including, but not limited to Game Design, Photography, 3D Design, Digital Music, and more. The latter part of our program engages students in diverse trainings, connects them with community organizations, mentors, and leaders to help consult and navigate the world towards incorporating more diverse, equitable, and inclusive environments in our workplaces and schools. They will further utilize their coding skills as a marketing tool to educate the community as it relates to diversity, equity, and inclusion.

• Black men die four years earlier than white men

• Black men make up the largest share of prisoners

• Black men are twice as likely to be unemployed as white men

• Black men are less likely to participate in the labor force

• Young Black men are poorly served by schools
