Sankofa Boys Club Fellowship

Healing should never be out of reach.

Se wo were fi na wosankofa a yenkyi.

WHO WE ARE

It is not wrong to go back for what you were left behind. That's the Sankofa principle, and it's what this fellowship is built on. The Sankofa Boys Club Fellowship is a structured weekly program where Black boys ages 10–14 come together to learn, lead, and grow into who they already have the capacity to be.

What we develop together

  • 01

    Emotional Awareness & Mental Health Literacy
    Language and tools to understand their inner world so they can name what they feel and know they're not alone in it.

  • 02

    Brotherhood & Peer Support
    Active listening, conflict resolution, peer accountability, and how to be someone people can trust. The bonds form on their own. We just teach the skills that make them possible.

  • 03

    Creative Expression
    We write, build, perform, and make. Creative work is how young men find and sharpen their voice and learning to use it with intention is one of the most transferable skills we teach.

  • 04

    Cultural Identity & Black Heritage
    We study the people, movements, and ideas that made them possible. Not just the suffering but the strategy, the genius, the joy. Young men leave knowing their history is a source of power, not just pain.

  • 05

    Leadership Development
    We put young men in rooms where their decisions matter. Through real scenarios, peer accountability, and honest feedback, they practice what it looks like to lead, themselves first, then others.

How It Works

The Sankofa Boys Club Fellowship is designed to give Black boys a safe, affirming space to learn, grow, and be poured into. Through mentorship, cultural education, wellness-centered conversations, and community experiences, fellows are supported as they build confidence, character, and a deeper understanding of who they are and who they can become.

Parents, guardians, educators, community leaders, or youth-serving organizations can submit an application or nomination for a young man who would benefit from mentorship, wellness support, and positive community connection.
