ECOC SUMMIT

Jan 25, 2025

This year, we are gathering at the brand new Trojan Arena at Fountain Fort Carson High School to educate and discuss solutions to dismantling the cradle-to-prison pipeline.

 

The Educating Children of Color Summit provides a unique opportunity for educators, juvenile justice, and child welfare professionals to enhance their ability to retain and inspire the students they serve. It is also an opportunity for high school students to learn about themselves while they explore higher education. This year's theme is: "We open doors so others can walk through them." - Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

​

Registration will be live October 1st!

What you'll walk away with...
