In 1954, the Brown v. Board of Education decision forever changed the landscape of public education and society in the United States. Decades later, public schools, communities and corporations continue to spend significant amounts of time and resources to meet the varying needs of its system as well as those they serve, but in particular, historically disenfranchised communities. The FIRST Education Center for Civil Rights in Education was created to help educators, school districts and communities build a shared commitment to creating equitable opportunities and taking collective action to eliminate barriers associated with the predictability of success based on race, ethnicity, gender identity, first language, income or ability statuses. The FIRST Education Center for Civil Rights in Education has a team of skilled experts with a proven track record of effectively working with and supporting school districts, municipalities, law enforcement agencies, other service-based industries as well as private corporations. Our entire team of education consultants are current practitioners in education who deeply understand the challenges schools, service based industries and communities face. We are committed to and will work to develop and strengthen systems by listening, learning, collaborating and working alongside you to customize an experience that will drive sustainable change.
