Outreach Programs

The Institute is actively involved with the surrounding community through its Martin Luther King, Jr. After-School Program and its W. E. B. Du Bois Society.

The MLK After-School Program, which takes place at the Ella J. Baker House in the Boston neighborhood of Dorchester, teaches inner-city middle school and high school students both African and African American history and culture, and computer literacy. The Du Bois Society is an academic and cultural enrichment program, designed to engage secondary students of African descent who attend academically competitive public, parochial, and independent schools.
