““Every child deserves a champion – an adult who will never give up on them, who understands the power of connection, and insists that they become the best that they can possibly be.” —Rita Pierson”
Golden Opportunity believes in advancing the anti-racist values of belonging, respect, empathy, and justice. The Golden Opportunity community acknowledges that racism encompasses overt and covert racial prejudice, as well as social and institutional power that perpetuates systems of racial inequity. We are committed to recognizing and opposing all forms of oppression, wherever it may exist.
Adhering to anti-racist values will require continual reflection, education, and communication to identify and counteract sources of racism, including implicit bias and systemic disadvantages faced by racial minorities. Golden Opportunity believes that listening to and learning from students, parents, educators, and the broader community is vital to offering effective tutoring services. Golden Opportunity celebrates and respects differences and believes that all people must be afforded equal opportunities to succeed. Anti-racism is consistent with Golden Opportunity's principles and goals, and Golden Opportunity affirms its identity as an organization that strives to be anti-racist.
