Are you ready to connect, speak out, and lead change in your community? Join us at the 2026 Long Island Leaders of Tomorrow Conference, hosted by Nassau BOCES and ERASE Racism!

Nassau BOCES and ERASE Racism invite high school students from Nassau and Suffolk County school districts to the annual Long Island Leaders of Tomorrow Conference, a student-led conference which draws over 200 students from diverse districts. Here is an article from an alumni of our program detailing her experience with ERASE Racism’s programming, and some News 12 coverage of last year's conference.

This is a student-led, action-packed day where you’ll:

• Meet students from across Long Island’s varied districts
• Build real plans to make change in your district
• Learn about racial equity and challenges facing our schools
• Tour Hofstra University and earn hours toward the NYS Seal of Civic Readiness
