Ron Brown High School, located in Northeast Washington, DC, is an all-male, District of Columbia Public School committed to educating young men of color from a progressive, holistic, and revolutionary paradigm. Given the bleak state of affairs related to outcomes for Black males, the Culture and Restorative Efforts (C.A.R.E.) Team at Ron Brown functions to disrupt current trajectories through catalyzing the systemic empowerment of the Young Kings they serve. More specifically, the multidisciplinary CARE Team targets the following goals: increased capacity to love self and others, ability to navigate a culturally hostile world, presence as student scholars, and comprehensive development into community minded change agents. Restorative efforts, social and emotional learning, community engagement, empowerment strategizing, and in-vivo intervention processes are the primary mechanisms used by the CARE Team to engage the Young Kings they serve.
