Support Africentric Education for Our Youth

Fund the GOREE Learning Center℠—An Africentric School for Our Youth

Title: GOREE Learning Center℠: Empowering Our Youth, Transforming Our Future

If We Don’t Build It, Who Will?

Our children are born with genius. They deserve an education that nurtures that genius, builds self-esteem, and empowers them with the tools to thrive. The GOREE Learning Center℠ is an Africentric, community-based organization committed to uplifting youth and families through holistic education. Now, we need your support to establish an independent Africentric school in Columbus, Ohio!

We envision a school where our children:

✅ See themselves reflected in their curriculum and teachers

✅ Develop confidence, leadership, and self-determination

✅ Learn Africentric principles like Nguzo Saba and Ma’at

✅ Receive high-quality academic instruction tailored to their learning styles

✅ Are supported holistically—mentally, emotionally, and spiritually

Why This Matters:

For too long, African- American children have been underserved by schools that do not nurture their identity, history, or natural gifts. If we don’t take charge of our children’s education, someone else will—and they will not teach them to love themselves, to build wealth, or to lead their communities.

The GOREE Learning Center℠ will transform education for our youth by:

✔️ Centering African history, culture, and ingenuity in learning

✔️ Providing academic excellence in literacy, math, science, and the arts

✔️ Emphasizing character development, self-esteem, and leadership

✔️ Empowering families through holistic support and education

✔️ Creating a space where every child knows they are brilliant

How You Can Help:

We are starting by raising $120,000 to secure a building, furnish classrooms, and provide scholarships so that no child is denied access due to financial hardship.

Your donation will help:

✔️ Secure and renovate a school building in Columbus, Ohio

✔️ Purchase books, technology, and educational materials

✔️ Fund scholarships for families who need financial assistance

✔️ Support Black educators and staff dedicated to our children’s success

✨ Every dollar brings us closer to opening our doors! ✨
