School-based Programing
Helping young people thrive in a diverse world
RMK’s school-based programs help students discover who they are, understand others, and develop the skills needed to lead in an increasingly diverse and interconnected world. Through multicultural literature, arts integration, leadership development, mentoring, and social-emotional learning, students build empathy, confidence, cultural awareness, and a sense of belonging.
Whether through TEACH, TEACH Jr., or The U Project, RMK creates opportunities for students to explore new perspectives, strengthen their voices, and develop the leadership skills needed to make a positive impact in their schools, communities, and future careers.
Students in Service
Empowering Young Leaders Through Service, Leadership, and Action
Students in Service (SIS) is Raising Multicultural Kids’ youth-led service-learning initiative that helps middle and high school students turn their passions into action. Working in teams, students identify community needs, design service projects, and develop leadership, communication, and advocacy skills while creating positive change in their schools and communities.
Throughout the year, students engage in leadership development opportunities, collaborate with peers from other schools, and present their work at regional conferences. By combining service, civic engagement, and youth voice, SIS prepares young people to become confident leaders, active citizens, and changemakers who are ready to thrive in a diverse world.
Educator Training
Equipping Educators to Foster Global Competence and Belonging
Raising Multicultural Kids partners with schools and districts to provide high-quality professional development that helps educators engage diverse learners, foster belonging, and create inclusive classroom environments. Our training combines evidence-based instructional practices, multicultural literature, arts integration, and civic learning strategies that educators can immediately apply in their classrooms.
As a DESE-approved Professional Development Provider, RMK offers customizable workshops and coaching aligned with Massachusetts standards and district goals. Professional learning opportunities are available for schools, districts, individual educators, and through Bridgewater State University’s micro-credential program.
Uncovering Local Stories of Courage, Freedom, and Community
Raising Multicultural Kids is working to document, preserve, and share the often-overlooked stories of the Underground Railroad along Massachusetts’ South Shore and throughout New England. Through historical research, storytelling, and community engagement, this initiative helps students and community members explore the individuals, families, and networks who risked everything in the pursuit of freedom.
By connecting national history to local communities, participants gain a deeper understanding of the region’s role in the Underground Railroad while developing critical thinking, historical inquiry, and civic engagement skills. Together, we are ensuring that these important stories of courage, resilience, and collective action are preserved for future generations.

Raising Multicultural Kids partners with schools, districts, municipalities, and community organizations to design customized programs that address local needs while fostering belonging, engagement, leadership, and positive community outcomes.
