What is the InPower Network?
An initiative equipping Black-led, family-facing organizations to help Black families navigate school choice with clarity, care, and confidence.
Through actionable resources, leadership development, and networking opportunities, the InPower Network strengthens trusted community leaders with the tools to guide families and amplify community voices in the broader school choice movement.
Our Why
Black families and Black-led organizations are resilient, but under-supported. Families face systemic barriers: mistrust, inequities, lack of culturally relevant guidance. Black-led organizations do powerful work but often lack visibility and support. Empowerment without tools fades; awareness without action isn’t enough.
Our approach is transforming empowerment to inpowerment. We start with listening: What do you need? What’s working? We center Black leadership and amplify community expertise. We provide actionable resources, leadership development, and collaboration opportunities.Our goal is to position Black families as decision-makers, advocates, and system-shapers, not passive recipients of policy decisions.
