WHY WE WALK
Family Matters has been walking for equity for 30 years. We walk, and work, to:
• Overcome structural racism and systemic oppression.
• Facilitate personal and collective justice and influence social change.
• Nurture meaningful and life-changing relationships within homes, schools, and communities.
• Engage youth through transformative educational experiences to foster a love of learning.
• Close the education gap.
• Support youth through school transitions and prepare them to be college- and career-ready.
• Cultivate leaders that are confident, resilient, responsible, and accountable.
• Prepare and support families in effectively navigating institutional and systemic constraints.
Family Matters Programs:
Boys to Men (Teen Boys Program) and That Goddess Power (Teen Girls Program) - programs focused on academic support, leadership development, advocacy, career planning/preparation, and relationship-building for youth ages 12-19
Family Connections - leadership and literacy program for children in 1st through 6th grades
Evening Tutoring - one-to-one tutor/mentor program which pairs youth with adults; pairs work together at least once per week throughout the school year
WHAT YOU CAN DOOn Saturday, October 5, 2019, we will once again gather a group of 300+ friends and walk five miles together to raise awareness and funds for Family Matters.
