The Alliance is an outreach organization designed to disseminate accurate information regarding Florida's education reforms and to encourage the active involvement and partnership of African American students, parents, and communities toward the continued improvement of education in our state.

The Alliance seeks to uplift the African American communities by acknowledging African American students and applauding their academic improvements, while celebrating the accomplishments of African American leaders and community organizations. The African American Education Alliance also recognizes the need to support the efforts of all students, teachers, principals, and communities in Florida. Consequently, the African American Education Alliance works to develop strong, informed communities that will provide the backbone and support structure for education reform in Florida.
