The Equity in Education Center (EEC) is a nonprofit organization based in Seattle, Washington, founded as part of the Equity in Education Coalition in 2012. It serves as a collective of stakeholders from communities of color and allies who aim to improve educational opportunities and outcomes for children of color by addressing structural factors such as race, homelessness, language barriers, poverty, and family instability. The organization emphasizes strategic, equity-centered approaches to closing the opportunity gap in education, focusing on how inequities in schooling and related systems affect low-income and marginalized students. EEC operates within the nonprofit sector, coordinating efforts and advocacy to support access to quality education for all children, particularly those most affected by inequitable practices. In June 2024, its executive director received recognition for her work in educational empowerment, reflecting the coalition’s ongoing engagement in advocacy and community-driven change.
