African American youth

More African American children than white children are born into poverty in the United States.
The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation seeks to fund innovative programs that promote the health and success of African American boys and young men in school, work and life. Up to 10 grants of up to $300,000 will be awarded. See the funding announcement and application instructions (PDF, 249KB).
Births among African American teens have fallen a whopping 47 percent since the early 1990s. Still, half of all African American girls in the United States will get pregnant at least once before their 20th birthdays.
