Social
Justice Through Educational Programs The future of black people in the United States depends so much on their children to obtain competitive education. Education is a means to achieve much-needed justice for the black people in the United States, both individual justice, and social justice. Both the black and white people in the United States can easily exist in harmony when society provides them with equal educational opportunities from an early age to compete fairly.
There has long been an ongoing conversation about equity in higher education, focusing on the serious gaps in access for Black and Hispanic people. Besides, it is indisputable that getting into college is not enough; Black and Hispanic students are much less likely to graduate. There are serious inequities even among students who do graduate from college. Following the type of credentials, students earn and the majors they study, Black and Hispanic graduates are significantly underrepresented in important fields of study such as engineering and education, mathematics and statistics, and the physical sciences compared to their White counterparts. Bluewell Advocates is a not-for-profit 501(c3) agency providing: · college education awareness among the black and ethnic minority communities; · educational service coordination for the black and ethnic minority high school students to develop interests in the fields of engineering and education, mathematics and statistics, and the physical sciences; · academic support to ensure college graduation for the black and ethnic minority; · competitive employment and career service coordination for black and ethnic minority college graduates; · mentorship and role modeling services for black and ethnic minority youths
