"Through COSEBOC, I have developed collegial
relationships with other school leaders, visited
their schools and borrowed ideas from them, and
used strategies learned at the annual Gathering.
COSEBOC is unique in helping schools crack
the psyche of boys and young men of color."
— Jonathon Foy, Co-Founder and Principal,
Urban Assembly Academy for History and Citizenship,
The Bronx, New York
"As we conclude this series, I would like to thank our presenters and our 2,100-plus audience of
parents, community members, youth, school leaders, district leaders, educators, researchers,
funders, and METCO directors, all of whom contributed to the success of the Education of
Black Male Youth Series. Your energy, your support, and your commitment are what sustain us
and compel us to change and grow as we think about the ways we educate, challenge and
prepare young black men for meaningful and successful lives." More
