The Nyumburu Leadership Series' Website The Nyumburu Leadership Series Program is designed to provide students with experiential learning opportunities, coupled with theoretical and critical discourse that engages students towards formulating their own leadership philosophies.

UNITV is a network dedicated to empowering, enlightening, and uplifting the Black Community and other communities of color by expanding the the range of communication. We understand the lack of ownership by people of color in TV and Radio in today's society has a huge impact on many of the inaccurate and unequally balanced images which affect everything from self-identification to public policy. Our network plans to encourage growth by addressing the issues affecting our community and by giving students of color a voice. UNITV MYSPACE PAGE UNITV YOUTUBE PAGE
The Schott Foundation for Public Education has tracked (for over 5 years) the performance of Black males in public education systems across the nation.* Past efforts by Schott were designed to raise the nation’s consciousness about the critical education issues affecting Black males; low graduation rates, high rates of placement in special education, and the disproportionate use of suspensions and expulsions, to name a few.
The 2008 edition, Given Half a Chance: The Schott 50 State Report on Public Education and Black Males, details the drastic range of outcomes for Black males, especially the tragic results in many of the nation’s biggest cities. Given Half a Chance also deliberately highlights the resource disparities that exist in schools attended by Black males and their White, non-Hispanic counterparts. The 2008 Schott report documents that states and most districts with large Black enrollments educate their White, non-Hispanic children, but do not similarly educate the majority of their Black male students.
These trends, and others cited in Given Half a Chance, are evidence of a school-age population that is substantively denied an opportunity to learn, and of a nation at risk.
