How We Support The Village:
We Assemble
Brookland is rich with passion and hope. The CARE movement taps into those collective resources for the good of our children. We bring our families, teachers, lawmakers, and businesses together to ensure our education thrives.
We Act
Our programs invest in our educators, inform our community, and inspires our families. CARE Brookland keeps our Black and Brown communities engaged with public education ensures that we can fight for safety and quality.
We Advance
When Brookland comes together, we move towards a new future of equality through equity, proper education for our students, and powerful schools that keep our kids learning. Brookland is our village, CARE keeps us connected.
How do we CARE?
We use equity to achieve equality.
CARE Brookland is a nonprofit focused on empowering our Black, Brown, and low-income educators, families, and students so they can succeed on their own terms. We are a part of the CARE DC movement; we know that to improve our communities, we need to build power in our communities.
What Is Our Vision?
We envision our schools as:
Safe: Every student should experience a safe journey to and from school–physically, mentally, and emotionally.
Joyful: Youth should go to school because they are excited about what they are learning.
Smooth: A strong transition from elementary to middle to high school enriches the community and keeps kids on track.
Supportive: Everybody should have a chance to learn. We need alternative routes for nontraditional students to flourish.
Our programs work to ensure these principles are upheld. CARE empowers our educators and our community to move towards these goals.
