About

A2MEND, the African American Male Education Network and Development organization, supports the interest and success of African American students, faculty, staff, and administrators at California’s community colleges. A2MEND educators utilize their scholarly and professional expertise to foster institutional change within the community college system to increase success of African American male students.

A2MEND’s vision is to shape its members career development, advancement, and achievement in community colleges, as well as to serve as a network for African American educators. This group strives to build, support, and sustain institutional capacity that effectively addresses the needs of African American men and hold the community college system accountable for their success.
