Understanding the Statistics: The State of Black Youth in America

The reality faced by black youth in America today is often stark, underscored by troubling statistics. Black youth face disproportionate challenges in areas such as education, poverty, incarceration, and mental health. For instance, black youth are three times more likely to live in poverty compared to their white peers, and incarceration rates are significantly higher.

At AJT Foundation, we believe awareness is the first step toward change. Our programs directly address these systemic barriers by providing targeted support and resources. Through initiatives focused on academic achievement, athletic engagement, and personal mentorship, we aim to shift these statistics toward a brighter future.

Your involvement can make a significant difference. Join us in advocating for meaningful change and supporting our youth through action and awareness.
