About Equity Roadmap

Equity Roadmap is a non-profit umbrella organization that primarily serves Black and Brown communities in Massachusetts. We support youth and families by connecting them to equitable opportunities throughout their community. We aim to foster and uplift communities who find themselves on the margins through our programs and initiatives.

Our Vision

Equity Roadmap creates spaces of joy and fulfillment for young Black and Brown students who may find themselves holding a sense of diminished social, emotional, and physical well-being. Equity Roadmap strives to create various opportunities to set youth and their families on the path for the most favorable outcomes in an effort to close the opportunity gap.

How it Started

Equity Roadmap began as a dream during the COVID-19 Pandemic. Our founders, Debbie, Will, and Kini saw the immense need for Black and Brown scholars to have a safe space to speak with community mentors, learn new skills, and have a warm meal. During this time the Pandemic afflicted many families with unfortunate circumstances and as a team we wanted to go beyond our sphere of influence to foster communities that validate and support the youth and families who need it most. After many late night meetings and information sessions, Equity Roadmap was born. Today, we continue the work of closing opportunity gaps for our most vulnerable families.
