A Collective Power

Determined to disrupt the status quo, EdLoC drives systemic change through cross-sector collaboration.

Coming from diverse and influential leadership backgrounds in education and beyond, our membership Network is the driving force behind the structural and systemic change we seek.

Aligned by values and fueled by passion, our membership Network is committed to:

• Growing Together as Leaders: Fostering a deep sense of belonging, EdLoC is a community where members can express their authentic selves, share their own personal and lived experiences, and find support from others. We listen and learn from each other and bring a unique perspective to share with policymakers, civic leaders, researchers, philanthropic leaders, and others. 

• Collaborating as Problem Solvers: Members have the opportunity to collaborate with others online and at curated in-person events, leveraging collective strengths to drive long-term impact and advance multiple solutions to ensure young people of color achieve their vision of success.

• Advocating for Policy Change: EdLoC enables members to take informed actions and expand their collective influence by keeping them up-to-date and informed on policy developments at all levels. 

• Investing in Each Other’s Work: We invest in each other by highlighting member achievements and and projects across platforms, hosting several curated networking events where values-aligned leaders connect and explore potential collaborations, and facilitating regional and identity-based affinity groups.
