"I gained meaningful mentorship and long-lasting relationships. It was powerful to see students and leaders in this space who looked like me."
Meet alumn Calvin Bell, and learn about the impact of his year-long participation with local ACT-SO mentors and peers.
"During my time in ACT-SO, I realized I could use my passions and interests to make a difference."
"I gained meaningful mentorship and long-lasting relationships. It was powerful to see students and leaders in this space who looked like me."
"Intersecting my passion for politics and computer science, I started to think of ways to bring tech to marginalized communities."
"Now I'm focused on creating policy surrounding prison reform on behalf of my late father who was incarcerated."
"ACT-SO taught me that my worth is not based on what I look like but what I can offer and create that uplifts communities everywhere."
The Google.org grant will help ACT-SO extend the program to nearly 100,000 students by 2023, helping the NAACP to support the next generation of Black leaders.
