Mission
Statement
SARN develops campaigns and projects in the South led by people of color to address racial disparities in education, health care and economic opportunities. We work across the fault lines of race, gender, class age and immigration status.
Our Work
Healthy Bodies - Healthy Minds
SARN is a member of the Health Bodies - Healthy Minds Team (HBHM). HBHM is a partnership between Duke University Health System and several community organizations with a mission to promote effective community-based health intervention programs, with cultural competence, in Durham County. Using proven methods identified in evidence-based research, we aspire to improve health outcomes by increasing access to excellent physical, mental, and behavioral health education and health promotion through an integrated network of grassroots organizations, faith-based institutions, and community health advisors.

SPICE
In 2001, SARN created SPICE - Strong Parental Involvement in Community Education. SPICE is an organization of parents with children in Durham Public Schools. Parents came together to support efforts to close the achievement gap between African-American and white students in Durham Public Schools. SPICE has a two-pronged mission to close the achievement (literacy) gap and the digital divide. The main program of SPICE is a family literacy class that provides home computers to families who successfully complete the classes.
On April 19, 2007, SPICE celebrated its 5-year anniversary with a graduation bringing the total families served to 262. In June of 2007, SPICE became its own independent organization.
Our History
The Southern Anti-Racism Network (SARN) originates from the Challenging White Supremacy Workshop (CWS) Online. The CWS Workshop online was a year-long virtual learning experience to "find, recruit, motivate and educate" anti-racist activists throughout the US. When the online workshop ended in December 1998, approximately 20 Southern Participants in 7 states formed SARN.
