Calling All Colors fosters inclusive school communities through a year-long program that creates safe spaces to talk about race and tools for increasing inclusion in middle and high schools.

At the Spring 2018 conference, student groups will present their school’s Calling All Colors projects from the past year. Motivational speaker Edward Young will share with students about his mission to see the world–all of it.

Volunteers are needed for the conference: https://ethnicdiversity.z2systems.com/event.jsp?event=543&

More about Edward Young:
Edward Young is the founder and main contributor to the popular travel blog RebornStronger.com. He is on a mission to not only visit every country in the world, but also to empower and inform the younger generation that traveling the world is NOT something reserved solely for the wealthy or privileged. As a high school kid that graduated with a 1.8 GPA and was told that he did not possess the necessary intellect to succeed at a 4-year university, Edward went on to graduate with honors in the English—Writing Emphasis program from the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater. After graduation, Edward again faced adversity when he suffered a devastating broken neck injury that left him on the verge of death and nearly paralyzed. Although it was an injury that would have derailed many, it only added further fuel to Edward’s desire to traverse the globe.
