Exciting New Funding Opportunity to Improve Outcomes for Young Men of Color
Forward Promise is the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation’s new $9.5 million initiative to promote opportunities for the health and success of middle-school- and high-school-aged boys and young men of color. CLASP worked with RWJF extensively to identify issues of importance for this initiative. We’re now pleased to share that RWJF will be funding work in four key areas:
- Alternative approaches to harsh school discipline that do not push students out of school;
- Solutions that focus on dropout prevention and increasing middle school retention and high school graduation rates;
- Mental health interventions that tailor approaches to boys and young men who have experienced and/or been exposed to violence and trauma; and
- Career training programs that blend workforce and education emphases to ensure that students are college- and career-ready.
