Why Support?

Man Up Teacher Fellowship strives to provide students in high-poverty communities access to high quality male teachers and advance policies that encourage equity in K – 12 schools.

We are changing the narrative and reality of who excellent teachers are, what they look like, where they come from and where they can be found.  This is the right work at the right time to address the inequities that exist in public education – more so now than ever given virtual learning.

Join us in investing in our teachers, children and community. Thank you for your support!

Men of color make up less than 2% of the nation’s teachers. Man Up Teacher Fellowship, Inc. is changing this!

The Need

There are 7.6 million African American students in our country's k-12 education system. They currently have a graduation rate of 79%. That means that 1.5 million African American children will not graduate high school.

Men of color make up less than 2% of the nation’s teachers. Man Up Teacher Fellowship, Inc. is changing this!

Our Work

Studies show that students that have one or more teachers that look like them in K-6th grade are 29-39% more likely to graduate high school. That would be over 500,000 of our nations African American students graduating High school.

The Benefit

We believe our work is the social justice initiative of our time. The "Pipeline to Prison" theory has shown that there is a direct correlation between 3rd grade reading scores and our countries increasing incarceration rates. Man Up's mission is to "Change the world through the classroom." For every quality man of color we put in the classroom, it is a proven fact that those students' odds at becoming successful members of society increase by 29% for students of color, and more specifically 39% for African American boys.
