This paper examines the literature on positive psychology interventions aimed at enhancing agency—specifically optimism, creativity, and efficacy—among Black youth aged 16-20, with the ultimate goal of fostering Black excellence. The review synthesizes existing research to identify three actionable interventions tailored to address the unique socio-cultural contexts and challenges Black youth face in achieving personal and collective empowerment through strong agentic thinking and actions. Drawing on studies emphasizing culturally sensitive approaches, the paper proposes a 3-intervention handbook that can be in youth centers, educational settings, homes, and community settings. These interventions can mitigate systemic barriers and promote resilience. The findings underscore the critical role of culturally competent practitioners in delivering interventions that support the holistic development of Black youth, thereby contributing to their positive psychological outcomes and collective advancement. Ultimately, the project endeavors to empower Black youth with the tools and resources needed to thrive
amidst their challenges, fostering resilience and well-being for generations to come.
