SUMMIT OVERVIEW
​
Join us as we bring together Black male college students and educators to encourage and find innovative ideas to increase the success of Black male students in California’s community college system. The summit is hosted by the African American Male Education Network & Development (A²MEND), a nonprofit comprising African American male educators, who voluntarily use their professional expertise to operate a statewide mentoring program for Black male college students.
This year's theme, "Sacred Work: (Re)membering, (Re)storing, (Re)birthing Black Men and Boys" will cultivate the importance of re-establishing the black male success in the community college and their presence in the community as a whole.
