About Kingmakers of Oakland

Kingmakers of Oakland is an award winning non-profit that originated in the Oakland Unified School District’s 1st in the country Office of American Male Achievement (AAMA). After 10+ years in the district, the independent non-profit now supports school districts across the country to improve the educational and life outcomes of Black boys by “healing the fish while treating the toxic ecosystem.” This multi-faceted approach is rooted in a desire to collaborate, coordinate and convene folks who are inspired to create a healthy, affirming learning environment for Black boys in the public school system. Through professional development, narrative change resources, curriculum and more, Kingmakers helps each unique district transform their school environment.
