Telling the Social Justice Stories of Yesterday and Today!
By using stories of social justice to dismantle racism, The New 3Rs unlocks civic and compassionate leadership at school, at home, and at work. We offer programs and resources to educate and empower children, parents, educators, and workplace leaders through a lens of racial justice and racial awareness.
The New 3Rs educates and empowers through the aRt of social justice storytelling, building Relationships, and fostering a sense of Responsibility.“The New 3Rs is a place you can feel safe, and others can too.” Esther Class of 2021
What We Do
Your Story is Our Story . . . What’s Old is New
The New 3Rs, through the arts teaches Pre-K to 12 children, civics, African Diaspora Influences Around the World and the intersectionality of the social justice areas: animal rights, ageism, class, disabilities, environment, famine, gender, health disparities, race and religion. The children co-create a Youth Responsive Philanthropy Giving Circle, with the support of FJC and WISE award grants to the greatest needs nationally an internationally; thus, creating a More Civic and Compassionate Society… one child at time.
In the Work Place
Forbes and Fortune indicate narcissism and unconscious bias have created an unhealthy environment for some based on their race and gender. The New 3Rs curriculum uses the Arts, American History, Media and Gaming, and the contributions of the African Diaspora to the world to bring our perceptions of self and others to the forefront. Through Art Therapy and conversations about race and gender, The New 3Rs helps the workplace become more inclusive.
Our Pre-K to 12 Program
The American Psychological Association advises racial and ethnic socialization begin in Pre-K to ensure the success of all children. U.C. Berkley studies show the earlier a child forms and maintains relationships with others, the more likely the child will become a compassionate adult. Instead of America capitalizing on its diversity, its schools have deliberately become more segregated, thus not preparing America’s children for a more inclusive world and to succeed globally, with emerging African markets. “Turning the Tide” — a higher education report – advises moral development and a commitment to justice as priorities for schools and families.
