When their rights are fully realized, girls positively impact both their own lives and entire communities, transforming structures of poverty and inequity in ways that benefit everyone.”
Code Switch is a university-school-community action research grant powered by Touro University Nevada (TUN), schools like Peterson Academic Center (PAC), a Clark County School District alternative learning center, and Teaching and Uniting Ladies to Inspire Positive Success (TULIPS). Formed to disrupt the disproportional rates Black girls experience school pushout, Code Switch works to dismantle school-to-confinement pathways shaping the inequities girls of color experience in and out of school.
Grant initiatives include providing participating girls with access to sister circles centered in restorative practices, mentorship, opportunities for international travel, and community-based field experiences meant to foster self-determination, cultural pride, leadership development, and youth-led community action. Code Switch also provides restorative practices training for educators, mentors, caregivers, and community advocates who teach, lead, and support girls and young women of color.
