As COSEBOC looks toward spring and the 11th Annual Gathering of Leaders in Austin, Texas, our planning efforts require that we reflect on the reason behind our work to uplift boys and young men of color. Simply put, there is greatness within the young people we serve, and our role as educators and investors is more important than ever. Take a look back to 2014 as COSEBOC executive director Ron Walker reminded us that “Boys and Young Men of Color are Natural Resources Too."
