Do you identify as Black, Indigenous, Latino-a-ea, Asian, Pacific Islander, Native Hawaiian, Person of Color in Southern Oregon?

At the SOREN Summit we invite you to continue the co-creation of this beloved community with us, Educators of Color Empowerment Network.  An “educator” is classified, licensed, admin, higher ed, anyone who works with youth in a school community. This could also include the non profit, philanthropic, and Tribal organizations.

During the school year, Educators of Color Empowerment Network meets monthly both in person and online, and has been doing so since January 2023.

The intention of this virtual meeting is to gather educators from Jackson, Josephine, and Klamath counties to begin supporting other BIPoC educators throughout the region. With our guiding organization, SOREN, at the helm we want to ensure that BIPoC educators' voices are heard in creating communities of safety, significance, and belonging throughout the Rogue Valley. Please remember, YOU ARE NOT ALONE. We look forward to meeting you.

*This is for already existing ECEN members as well as our NEW friends.
