About Us

Welcome to KWENU, where education meets empowerment. Founded in 2017, KWENU is not just an educational nonprofit - it's a movement. 

At KWENU, we believe in the transformative power of education. We are dedicated to centering 21st-century literacies to empower Black and indigenous youth. In a world filled with challenges and barriers, KWENU stands as a beacon of hope, unapologetically confronting the barrage of physical, intellectual, and emotional violence that too often targets these communities.

We understand that education is not just about textbooks and exams; it's about unlocking potential, fostering resilience, and creating pathways to success. That's why KWENU goes beyond traditional education models to provide holistic support to our students.

Through innovative programs, mentorship, and community engagement, we strive to create a safe space where every student can thrive and reach their full potential. We believe that by investing in our youth today, we are building a brighter, more equitable future for generations to come.

Join us in our mission to break the cycle of generational poverty and empower the leaders of tomorrow. Together, we can make a difference. Welcome to KWENU - where education is liberation.
