The Coalition of Schools Educating Boys of Color (COSEBOC) is re-imagining and transforming the schooling experience for males of color.

COSEBOC is a networked learning community of educators, researchers, policy-makers and caring adults. We support school leaders with high quality professional development so they can realize this vision of making success an attainable goal for every male student of color.

Every year COSEBOC hosts an Annual Gathering of Leaders for educators committed to educating boys of color. The conference is three days of professional development and opportunities for networking and sharing of promising practices and common challenges.
