About Kids for Racial Justice
Kids for Racial Justice supports children ages 6-14 in developing the commitment and tools to dismantle racism.
Kids for Racial Justice offers engaging programs that inspire children to be change makers. Our age-appropriate curriculum allows children to explore important topics related to race, racism, and activism, in a supportive and fun environment. With adult guidance, children have the empowering experience of planning and carrying out antiracist action. Kids for Racial Justice also works with families to extend this learning into the home, by curating resources for children and adults to learn more, and by supporting family conversations.
Kids for Racial Justice's parent education programs complement its offerings for children. These include small group workshops that provide parents with tools to engage their children in conversations about race and racism, individualized coaching sessions that are tailored to a family’s needs, and a variety of special events.
Kids for Racial Justice partners with schools and out-of-school-time providers to develop and implement professional development for educators as well as antiracist programs for students.

Meredith Moore, Ph.D, Founder and Lead Educator
Meredith has two decades of experience as a K-12 teacher, curriculum developer, teacher educator, and researcher. She is committed to using her position as a White educator to help others to recognize and ultimately dismantle racist structures. With a B.A. in History and Literature from Harvard University and an M.S. in Childhood Education from Bank Street College, Meredith spent the first decade of her career teaching in elementary and middle schools. Through her experiences teaching in varied settings, including a majority Latinx charter school, a racially diverse public school, and a predominantly White private school, Meredith saw firsthand the stark inequalities baked into our current educational system. She researched institutional racism and its far-reaching impacts in the course of her doctoral work at Boston College, where she received a Ph.D. in Curriculum and Instruction. In the last few years, she has developed her approach to creating shared understandings of issues related to race by facilitating workshops for her colleagues at MIT's Playful Journey Lab and for parents at Cambridge's Haggerty School, by working with children in Kids for Racial Justice's classes, and by trying things out with her own kids. Kids for Racial Justice brings together Meredith's passions for teaching and racial equity. She can't think of anything more rewarding than working with kids to try to change the world. |
