Attention! If you are not a male educator of color, join us for community day!
Community Day kicks off the first day of an impactful weekend. It is an opportunity for community supporters and gentlemen to engage with critical topics impacting male educators of color. The morning will consist of a panel discussion and solution-focused breakout sessions. The afternoon will be service-oriented, where we will strategize with our educators about a challenge they are facing in the profession.
Thank you to our Donors!
