The College Bound Brotherhood is excited to announce that a  location and date has been confirmed for the second annual Black & Proud to Be College Bound conference.  This year’s convening will take place at Berkeley Community College on Saturday, March 17th from 9:00am to 4:00pm.

Conference sessions will cover such topics as A-G requirements, SAT/ACT prep,  and STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, & Mathematics).  In addition to these core areas of college-readiness there will be a focus on the merger of education and technology. Students will have the opportunity to engage with Blacks in tech who are developing very resourceful tech tools that are raising brows in Silicon Valley.

A “save-the-date” email and registration information will be coming soon.

This Friday the Assembly Select Committee on the Status of Boys and Men of Color welcomes all educators, students, parents, and community members to  an informational hearing: Claiming the Promise of Health and Success for Boys and Men of Color in California.  If you want to know what initiatives are being put in place to help young men of color in your community, then this is an event you do not want to miss.
