The mission of the Duluth NAACP Education Committee is to actively advocate for equitable local, state, and federal policies that establish education standards, allocate resources, and set priorities for education and workforce systems. To achieve this mission, the committee has three overarching areas within which they focus their efforts:

We need strategies and investments that build accountability to advance the success of children of color. Black children deserve to experience culturally relevant, student-centered learning — not extreme punishments or hallways staffed with police officers. We work to expand policies and interventions that equip all those who work with students in education, as well as families and communities to better support their kids' needs in school.

We support students getting the education and skills development they need, so they can be successful on the job or in an academic environment. College costs should be affordable. We advocate for forgiving student loan debt and decreasing the overall cost of college as an economic imperative.
