Kevin will be a mentor to male students of color

Kevin has dedicated himself to students for the last eight years, particularly focusing on providing mentorship and opportunities to African-American boys in New York City.

Most recently, Kevin served as an assistant principal for Community Prep GED Plus for two years, helping to prepare over 300 formerly disengaged students for diploma success. Kevin entered the New York City Department of Education in the summer of 2004 as a New York City Teaching Fellow and taught 6th-8th grade mathematics; 95 percent of Kevin’s students successfully passed the integrated algebra regents. He also completed the Emerging Leaders Program last year.

Kevin is motivated to help youth excel academically and serve as a mentor for his male students. He explains, “During my public school experience I did not have one male teacher of color…there is a need for successful males to be present in the lives of students in impoverished areas.”

Thank you, Richard and Betsy, for supporting Kevin and New Leaders!
