This article explores the challenges Black boys face within urban school contexts and enumerates the strengths they enlist to navigate them. The authors offer culturally responsive tools that build on three prevailing school counseling approaches, including Young and Bryan's leadership model, Day-Vines et al.'s strategies for broaching or addressing the contextual dimensions of race, ethnicity, and culture that affect the educational trajectory of Black males, and Steen et al.'s approach to implementing group counseling leadership skills. Taken together, these promising recommendations help school counselors implement strategies for Black boys, their families, and communities in urban settings.
