Applications for Black Education for New Orleans “BE NOLA” Black Is Brilliant Institute are now open! The Institute is a unique 6-month paid fellowship that seeks to provide holistic support and development to Black educators and guess what?! It’s going down! 

We are calling Black educators working inside and outside of the classrooms with at least 2-5 years of experience in New Orleans to participate. As a fellow, your experience will be hands-on, Black-centered, and community driven. Up to 20 fellows will be selected.  

During monthly programming you’ll get the opportunity to grow a perspective rooted in community, hone your unique skills, explore healing aspects of New Orleans, and engage civic leaders. It is a space of wellness and learning for New Orleans Black educators in pursuit of liberation, wholeness, and preparation as they mold Black futures. The Institute will focus on five pillars: Black Educational History, Health and Wellness, Culturally Relevant Pedagogy, Holistic Curriculum, and Communal Infrastructure Building.
