About Title VI African Outreach Centers

The 12 Title VI African Outreach Centers are designed to make knowledge about Africa available and accessible to a wide audience. Each Outreach Center is part of a larger African Studies Center. The specific task of the Outreach Center is to increase public knowledge about Africa, so that the general community learns from and benefits from African-related scholarship. The constituencies we serve include, but are not limited to, the following groups:

• K-12 students and teachers
• Community college students and teachers
• Companies and business organizations
• Educational organizations

Our services are available to individuals and organizations throughout the country, and broadly include providing speakers, sponsoring workshops, lending books, videos, artifacts, curricula, and teaching kits, advising and designing cultural activities, arranging lectures and presentations, and consulting with businesses and organizations. We work with other institutions, such as museums and libraries, which are also committed to public education about Africa.
