HBCU Center of Coaching Excellence

Advancing HBCU leadership in higher ed student success

InsideTrack believes in the power of HBCUs and celebrates your accomplishments. As a mission-driven, learner-centered nonprofit, we are currently partnering with over 40 HBCUs thanks to support from and partnership with the United Negro College Fund (UNCF), Partnership for Education Advancement, and the Thurgood Marshall College Fund. We see you, HBCUs.

Every year, HBCUs collectively demonstrate your unique and diverse gifts in serving and supporting learners — to, through and beyond completion. You succeed where others fail. You operate from a deep and fundamental commitment to equity and belonging. And you structure yourselves around the reality that learners’ intersecting identities, family ties and communities of origin matter and have value. You are leading the way in demonstrating more effective models for higher education institutions to improve individual lives.

An innovative, forward-thinking hub to share ideas and insights

InsideTrack seeks to launch the HBCU Center of Coaching Excellence and is inviting HBCUs and funders to partner with us in shining a light on the transformative impact of the investments you are making in coaching to support learners in achieving their goals.

Together, through the HBCU Center of Coaching Excellence powered by InsideTrack, we can secure more resources to do the work you do so well, enhance and extend the benefits of coaching for your learners and institutions, and lead the way for the rest of higher education.

Together, we can work towards a postsecondary education system that is more equitable and more effective for all learners — where every individual on any pathway to opportunity has the personalized, evidence-based, human-to-human, growth-supporting experiences and relationships of coaching.

Please join us early on this journey to shape the future of the Center.
