By the way, sorry to subject you to ads, but we need to raise dollars to pay for the servers that will hold 25,000+ profiles. We will try to make these ads as unobtrusive as possible.

For these are all our children.
We will all profit by, or pay for,
Whatever they become.
James Baldwin

Welcome to the African American Role Models website -- a project designed to get African American professionals, college students and entrepreneurs to connect with students (particularly African American) in grades K-12.

It is important for all children to see that African Americans are present, and hold leadership positions in, every profession. It is absolutely necessary that African American children see people who look like them being successful in something other than sports and entertainment.

It's a simple process:

  • You sign up
  • A teacher or community program staffer searches the database for someone who wants to speak to kids, mentor a kid, or do some other volunteer task.
  • They send the request through this site, you respond.
  • You spend about an hour with some kids, you transform lives.

ARE YOU A ROLE MODEL?

Help us reach our goal of 500 role models per state!  

In April 2008 we'll begin promoting this site to schools and community groups and accepting requests for speakers, volunteers and mentors.
