Thanks to our supportive and committed community, our children are inspired to reach their full potential, think differently, and stand up for what they believe in.

This event is hosted by The National Coalition on School Diversity (NCSD).

NCSD’s national conference provides a space for parents, students, educators, researchers, advocates, activists, policymakers (from federal, state and local levels), and other supporters to coalesce around a shared commitment to integrated education. Attendees exchange best practices; discuss and generate tools and ideas aimed to introduce, enhance, or protect school diversity initiatives in their communities across the country; and build supportive relationships. It is the largest cross-sector school integration convening in the nation.

The fifth national conference is expected to bring together over 400 people from across the country to discuss and strengthen strategies for reducing racial and socioeconomic isolation in elementary and secondary schools. The 2020 conference will continue to center youth voices and leadership; describe and embody the relationship between local, state, and national efforts; and provide space for collaboration and skill-building.

Boys and Young Men of Color: Learning from the Footprints of the Past, Taking Footsteps to the Future.

The Gathering is not a typical conference; it is an Experience. This year’s theme will honor the lessons passed on to us by the many iconic movement leaders, activists, and advocates who fought for liberation through their acts of service to marginalized communities. Their legacies of service continue to inform us, and they will guide the footsteps taken by our boys and young men of color in the future.

Every COSEBOC Gathering stays true to our core mission, which is the affirmative social, emotional, cultural, and academic development of boys and young men of color. This mission is woven into the fabric of the program design, the selected workshops, guest speakers’ presentations and the overall ambience of the Gathering.
