We Build Community

By leveraging the power of Morehouse College’s rich legacy of developing and preparing Black men for lives of leadership and service, we have established programs that empower aspiring educators with comprehensive training, mentorship, and resources that will nurture their growth as transformative leaders in the educational landscape. Through thought-provoking events and research forums, we shine a light on the achievements of our alumni and amplify the voices and insights of Black thought leaders while fostering a sense of belonging and community.

Initiatives Include:

My Brother’s Teacher 

To help eliminate feelings of professional and personal isolation often faced by Black male students, teachers, and leaders, MBT knits together a supportive inter-generational community of aspiring and current practitioners. Undergraduate and high school students who are interested in a career in education receive mentoring, tutoring, and advising to ensure each student has an academic and personal accountability partner. MBT also provides opportunities for the professional and personal development of pre-service, novice, and veteran educators.

 The Impact of a Morehouse Educator T.I.M.E.

The TIME project is an ongoing initiative that focuses on the collection and tracking of our amazing alumni educators. Since 1867, Morehouse College graduates have served in various roles throughout the education sector. We know that Morehouse Men can be found in classrooms and boardrooms across the country and internationally. Countless Morehouse alumni work in youth serving organizations, after school programs, and are serving students from kindergarten to college in significant ways. The TIME project allows us to quantify the Morehouse impact in the education sector. Look for a TIME booth at education conferences, homecoming and other Morehouse gatherings.
