Investing in Racial Equity: Empowering Students

/ November 9, 2024

At RARE, we believe in the power of community to drive lasting change, and our mission of advancing racial equity is only possible because of people like you.

As we approach Giving Tuesday, your contributions and steadfast belief in the value of lifting each other up have made a difference this year and will continue to do so next year.

In 2024, thanks to your support, our inaugural James A. Davis Jr. Scholarship recipients graduated – Leah with a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science and Law, Societies, and Justice; Elsabeth with a degree in Computer Science and a Master of Science expected in May 2025.

Their achievements are proof that when we invest in future leaders, we’re investing in a more equitable future for us all.

Looking ahead, 2025 brings new ambitions: an expansion of our Connections program, which has already sparked transformative conversations between Roosevelt and Garfield high school students.

By empowering more students to lead more activities, we’re able to help more young people strengthen their sense of belonging.

But we need your help to make it happen.

This Giving Tuesday, consider investing in RARE and help us create meaningful opportunities and impact in 2025.

Together, we are building a stronger community, one step at a time.
