While this year has brought an array of challenges to many organizations in our Network, EdLoC stands resilient—driving our mission forward and equipping our members to do the same.  

We’ve listened to funders, members, and partners who are facing hard choices about how to sustain their work amid today’s political and economic realities. In these conversations, we see not just the strain—but the opportunity. And we find that we are called to serve our Network in a deeper way. EdLoC is uniquely positioned to lead in helping values-aligned organizations ensure that their important work not only endures but evolves. 

EdLoC is rising to meet the moment by deepening our role as a catalyst and incubator of collaboration, supporting members in sustaining the vital work of their organizations. As part of that work, we aim to foster and invest in partnerships that sustain and advance organizations that create opportunities for young people of color.
