Education Leaders Building Communities
WE'RE BOLD
BOLD Leadership Network provides community support and resources for all leaders to advance equity and the opportunity for all students and communities to thrive.
BOLD IS THE CHANGE
Our THREE PILLARS allow us to reach into the education community and offer resources and safe spaces for conversations and growth.
We’re committed to developing a bolder generation of educators and changemakers. Through the Celebration of Excellence Gala, we provide scholarships to aspiring teachers. Our Leadership Fellowship is a workshop based experience designed to provide growth and mentorship for emerging leaders, while Mentoring & Coaching support individuals through personalized guidance and professional development.
Through BOLD Mixers, Affinity Meetings, and BOLD Conversations, we cultivate spaces that elevate diverse voices and deepen collective understanding. Our strategies for change—like partnering with BOLD Allies, sharing Impact Reports, and building dynamic communication channels (including social media, newsletters, and the Share Your Success campaign)—ensure that these stories inform and propel meaningful action.
Service is how we lead. Whether through community events, hands-on projects, or partnerships that foster connection, we are committed to making a positive impact. We strive to build meaningful relationships and are continually expanding our efforts to engage and support youth and families in ways that are inclusive and far-reaching.
