STRATEGIC INITIATIVES

BLACK MINDS MATTER

Black Minds Matter is a national movement to celebrate Black minds, support excellence, and promote the development of high-quality school options for Black students.

"Our essence and our being deserve life. That means that protecting black lives has to simultaneously include nurturing black minds. Anything less is unacceptable."

— BLACK MINDS MATTER

FEDERACIÓN PARA LOS NIÑOS

La Federación Americana para Los Niños is an ambitious project that focuses on outreach to Hispanic families, empowering a new generation of advocates to fight for their families.

“La financiación de la educación está destinada a educar a los niños, no a proteger una institución en particular. Deberíamos financiar a los estudiantes, no a los sistemas.”

— Corey DeAngelis

FUTURE LEADERS FELLOWSHIP

AFC’s Future Leaders Fellowship is designed to identify and develop tomorrow’s leaders in the educational choice movement, those who can speak best to its urgent need and potential: the men and women who credit school choice for changing their lives.

This twelve-month advocacy training program is for graduates of publicly created K-12 school choice programs. The fellowship is designed to identify and develop tomorrow’s leaders in the educational choice movement.

SCHOOL LEADER FELLOWSHIP

This highly-selective fellowship for school leaders provides participants access to recognized experts in the field and an opportunity to network with their peers from around the country. The eight-month long, all-expenses-paid fellowship uses a mix of in-person and virtual training sessions to dispel the fear of the unknown regarding the formation, expansion, and defense of school choice nationally and in their home states.

The AFC School Leader Fellowship helped broaden my perspective and sharpen my understanding about school choice programs across the nation. The fellowship experience gave me invaluable training and resources to support families who have questions about the school choice programs in our state and to find ways to advocate for improving and expanding programs that are working to help families make informed choices for their child’s education.

SCHOOL CHOICE BOYZ

School Choice Boyz is a targeted initiative focused on bringing awareness to how education, and education freedom, lies at the root of society’s most crucial issues.

The “School Choice Boyz” – Walter and Nathan – are direct beneficiaries of school choice programs in Ohio and Florida, and they are committed to delivering those same opportunities to other students like themselves.
