Man the Bay
Man the Bay is an innovative fellowship that covers professional and living expenses of Black male pre-service teachers, and provides critical training and support for teaching in San Francisco.
The most foundational leaders in our communities are teachers.
Less than 2% of America’s teaching force are Black males; less than 3% are Latino males. American communities need more highly-trained male leaders of color.

By providing targeted, wrap-around support for recent college graduates, Man the Bay reduces stigma around teaching, develops career pathways, and ultimately increases the number of equipped Black men teaching in San Francisco’s elementary schools.
