About NYC Men Teach:
The initiative was created to inspire more men of color to become teachers in New York City through engagement and recruitment efforts. The program seeks to impact people, practice and policy around diversity in our schools and classrooms. In addition to recruiting additional men of color and the differing perspectives they bring to our students and staff, NYC Men Teach builds individual leadership capacity, and promotes educator effectiveness through professional development, personal growth and a village of support to help male educators of color thrive and stay in the profession. Students are encouraged to see themselves as active members of their school communities, taking ownership of their own school cultures and leadership roles to encourage a more positive, inclusive and welcoming environment for their peers.
