The program has trained 265 teachers, primarily from the communities they serve, teaching mainly in Title I elementary schools.
The Right Now Needs Fund is a one-of-a- kind program that works at the individual school level to address the immediate basic needs of students and families. The fund ensures students fully participate in classroom activities by covering the costs of clothing, meals and shelter that are not included in individual school budgets, but necessary to help students thrive.
The Alliance works in partnership with Seattle Public Schools and Seattle’s philanthropic community to identify strategies and innovations that advance racial equity. The Alliance led the creation of a $3.7 million fund to support the founding of Seattle Public Schools’ Office of African American Male Achievement since 2019.
