CIP Mission and Vision
Our Mission
The mission of the Cultural Imperative Program is to increase cultural awareness and critical thinking skills among African American high school students by providing historically accurate interpretations of African history and culture, empowering students to strengthen identity, leadership, and academic excellence.
Our Vision
We envision a germination of young people who understand the truth of their history, embrace the power of identity, and lead their lives with purpose, discipline, and cultural confidence.
Through culturally grounded education, we strive to cultivate scholars, leaders, and change makers who recognize Africa as the foundation of their historical legacy and who are prepared to positively transform their families, communities, and the world around them.
Our program believes that all students of color can embrace their cultural identity, can shape their future, and can positively impact the world.
