Student of Color Organizing Conference - 2008 - Application

GLSEN’s Student of Color Organizing (SOCO) Conference will be held on January 18 - 21, 2008 in Atlanta, GA. The SOCO weekend is one of the most powerful components of our student organizing work. Middle and High School students of color from all over the country will gather over Martin Luther King Jr. Weekend, in order to build coalitions, engage in civic participation and begin to gain a framework for organizing communities of color around safer school issues.
