Greetings Umoja Community:
We welcome you to become an integral part of the Umoja XV Conference. Propose a workshop for the upcoming conference! The success of this Umoja Community Education Foundation annual event relies on organizations such as yours to provide the platform for insightful and empowering discussions and collaboration between students, counselors, and educators.

The Umoja Community Education Foundation kicked off the second Student Leadership Summit on August 1, 2019, at the University of California, Merced (UC Merced). More than 200 attendees were electrified by the opening ritual from Umoja’s Executive Director, Nzingha Dugas. Ms. Dugas challenged the attendees to know their culture and history so that it informs the way they experience their academic, personal and familial pursuits. The students were engaged in Don Lowry's True Colors Personality Profiling System (True Colors).
Umoja Remembers Walter Robinson
Sacramento, California – June 11, 2019 – The Umoja Community Education Foundation Board of Directors and staff are deeply saddened to announce the transition of Walter Robinson, Vice President of the Umoja Board of Directors. He joined the board in January 2018 and was immediately elected to serve as Vice President.
He demonstrated a remarkable passion for Umoja by initiating and ensuring a statewide partnership with the University of California (UC) system. His work and life focus centered around creating educational equity.
Umoja actively serves and promotes student success for all students through a curriculum and pedagogy responsive to the legacy of the African and African American Diasporas.
