The Future is Ancestral: Our 2025 Impact Report is Here
We are thrilled to announce the official release of our 2025 Annual Impact Report. This year’s theme, Ancestral Intelligence, chronicles a transformative period of "going deeper" to support our Kings in Oakland while navigating the rapidly evolving landscape of modern technology.
As our Founder & CEO Chris Chatmon shares in his opening letter for the report, “2025 was about streamlining our work to be hyper-local and proximate to the families we serve. By balancing cutting-edge innovation with the timeless wisdom of our heritage, we continue to build a future where every Black boy is known, loved, and supported.”
Key Highlights from the 2025 Report:
Relational Growth: Through our Crowns Curriculum, Kings reported a 1.5x increase in trust with adults and a significantly deeper sense of belonging on campus.
College Success: Our TFI Cohort 2 achieved a 100% college acceptance rate, securing over $650k in scholarships.
Systemic Transformation: Across all school partners, 92% of students reported feeling more capable of navigating school challenges and asking for help, proving that our work is successfully shifting school culture.
Identity & Efficacy: Our data shows that 96% of participating Kings reported a significant increase in positive racial and cultural identity, a core foundation for academic and life success.
Future Readiness: The launch of the Sankofa Kings AI2 Lab is ensuring our students are not just consumers of AI, but creators grounded in mindfulness.
This interactive digital report is more than just data, it is a celebration of our community’s resilience and brilliance. We invite you to explore the stories, videos, and impact metrics that define our movement.
