The Rooted Change initiative seeks to cultivate equitable futures for youth of color by strategically and collaboratively transforming the systems and narratives that have failed them.
Rooted Change envisions a world where boys and men of color live in safe, healthy, and prosperous communities, with equitable access to resources and sustained culturally responsive programming.
Rooted Change helps align philanthropic approaches with proven data-driven strategies for BYMOC, establishes advocacy approaches that influence decision-making at local, state, regional, and national levels, and strengthens collaborative relationships across organizations serving young people of color.
Our Field Leaders’ Table connects leaders of BYMOC organizations across the nation to facilitate collection action, learning and leveraging individual strengths for the collective good.
