BOLD Allies

The BOLD Leadership Network is committed to making a positive impact on the greater community by providing customized fellowship programming and an affinity group for Black male educators, expert-level consultancy for organizations, and community wide conversations to highlight the part we all play in improving experiences for all our neighbors. 

All of this work is made possible through intentional collaboration with our BOLD Allies. Allies unite themselves with another to promote a common interest. Allies are not only supporters, but also have a common interest with those they desire to help.
