Family Leadership Academy
The Ella Baker Institute partners with RACS to cultivate a values-driven Family Leadership Initiative that empowers parents to move from participation to advocacy.
Through structured workshops, shared learning spaces, and practical leadership tools, families strengthen their voice, build community, and collaborate with school leadership to shape a thriving school culture.
This work transforms engagement into sustained, collective leadership.
Father Figure Council & Wellness Circle
Father Figure Council & Wellness Circle is designed to strengthen the presence, purpose, and leadership of fathers and male caregivers within the RACS community.
Through monthly gatherings facilitated alongside licensed wellness practitioners, fathers build brotherhood, deepen wellness practices, and step into meaningful leadership roles within the school.
What began as a mindfulness workshop is now evolving into a sustained ecosystem of care, advocacy, and collective leadership.
