African American Male Education Network and Development

07/22/2026

Join the brothers of A²MEND for a night of networking, food, music, and fun as we launch the kickoff to our 20th Annual Black Male Summit at Southwestern College on Thursday, July 29th from 6-8pm.

A²MEND is the nation's premier organization dedicated to increasing the educational success of Black male students through leadership development, mentoring, scholarship, and institutional transformation.

The impact of A²MEND is extraordinary. Among its many accomplishments, A²MEND students have become the first Black male commencement speakers at both UC Berkeley and the University of Southern California—powerful examples of the organization's commitment to developing the next generation of Black leaders.

We are hosting a kickoff event next week at Southwest College, where we will have approximately 40-50 of our Charter Advisors visiting from across the country. I am inclosing a flier for the event. Please stop by if time permits. Please feel free to share with your networks and on social media.

Open to all.

Yes that means you.
