It all began with one day.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

In 2022, Black high school students from the York Region District School Board (YRDSB) were invited by 快播视频\u2019s Jean Augustine Chair in Education, Community & Diaspora<\/a> to the Keele Campus to take part in \u201cA Day at York.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The event was designed to help middle and high school students imagine themselves in a post-secondary environment and explore academic and career possibilities. They toured the campus, attended workshops, participated in Black-led panels and networked with Black tudents, alumni and faculty who shared insight on programs, the application process and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was a success. But one day, it turned out, wasn\u2019t enough. Students had more questions. They wanted more time with mentors who looked like them and shared similar lived experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMany of them had never been in an all-Black classroom or been taught by Black educators. They didn\u2019t realize how impactful that could be, until they experienced it,\u201d says Anika Forde<\/strong>, program director of the Jean Augustine Chair and founding member of the initiative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA Day at York\u201d began to evolve into a broader initiative to support Black students through culturally relevant, experiential learning opportunities rarely found in traditional high school settings.<\/p>\n\n\n

To co-develop a more comprehensive experience, Forde and Professor Carl James<\/strong> \u2013 who holds the Jean Augustine Chair in Education, Community & Diaspora <\/strong>\u2013 enlisted Melissa McKay<\/strong>, a co-teacher, PhD student in education and research assistant with the Jean Augustine Chair. Together, with input from Jean Augustine Chair research assistants Alanah Broomfield, LaToya Hinds and Richard Edwards, they developed a summer program that would give students a more comprehensive educational experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In summer 2023, they launched the Black Youth Internship Program, a four-week co-op credit course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The goal was to reimagine what a summer school credit could look like for Black students. \u201cThat meant focusing on igniting in the students a sense of self-development, helping them explore who they are, where they see themselves and understanding that despite systemic barriers, there are people and places that will support them,\u201d says McKay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Initially the program offered creative, culturally relevant activities like art and music, but evolved \u2013 guided by student feedback \u2013 into a more holistic experience that emphasized mentorship, scholarship support, resume building as well as personal, professional and academic development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Students also helped co-design future programming, offering feedback so the curriculum emphasized real-world applicability and encouraged students to see themselves as future leaders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy interest is in students contributing or giving input into their education,\" says James. \"I see this as what the Chair endeavours to do.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2025, the program expanded again into its current form: Y2 Innovators \u2013 Black Leadership and Innovation in Business Management. Delivered in partnership with YRDSB, it offers students in grades 10 to 12 a full Ontario secondary school credit in Business Leadership: Management Fundamentals, which can be included in post-secondary applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This July, 25 students came to Keele Campus for the four-week program. They explored leadership styles, financial literacy, human resources and strategic planning. Each module was rooted in community-responsive learning, using case studies \u2013 including Black-led and community-based businesses \u2013 to demonstrate concepts in action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMentorship has been more powerful than I could have imagined,\u201d says McKay. \u201cThere\u2019s a visible difference in students\u2019 body language and confidence when they feel seen and supported. The need for community in their learning is huge.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Y2 Innovators has grown beyond a summer program. As part of the Securing Black Futures<\/a> initiative \u2013 funded by RBC Future Launch \u2013 it continues to deepen insights into the systemic barriers Black high school students face. These findings inform the long-term work of James, who is principal investigator of Securing Black Futures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe need to build supports for Black students over time, not just through one-off exposures,\u201d says Forde. \u201cIt\u2019s not just about the supports, but also the learnings that can inform and advocate for systemic change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s about supporting Black students in realizing that their aspirations are within reach,\u201d Forde adds. \u201cWith the right supports, they can absolutely achieve the goals they\u2019ve set for themselves.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
