A Black Education Network

The California Alliance of African American Educators (CAAAE) was established in 2001 to advocate for black children who were being marginalized in their state. CAAAE, now doing business as A Black Education Network (ABEN), has the vision to develop, support, and sustain a national network of schools, churches, nonprofit organizations, educators (broadly defined), researchers, parents, corporations, foundations, and others to serve thousands of students through Saturday STEM academies and related education and cultural programs and activities to ensure that black students reach their full potential. This grant will support ABEN’s continued efforts.
