Black-led Organizations Coalition

The bloc logo_edited.jpg

Our Vision: to convene a roundtable of leadership and build deep relationships that authentically stir up healing within our community. When we sit at one table with shared purpose, we reduce duplication of efforts, strengthen collaboration, and maximize our collective impact through strategic, coordinated initiatives and funding. 

Our Mission: is to unite the Black community in Northern California to advance health, education, and economic equity and drive sustainable change. Through collaboration, healing, resource sharing, and shared learning, we strengthen our communities from within. We are committed to expanding opportunity while fostering unity and resilience that endures beyond any single program or funding cycle.

Community Connections

Why we need Community Resiliency Builders & Community Connection Points

Community Connections Hub creates an easy, low-pressure way for BIPOC college students, community members, and youth to connect with resources. This office or designated space has a sticker that lets community members know it is a safe place to connect for support. By scanning the QR code, students can quickly see what resources and items are available, then choose whether they want to engage right away or simply explore on their own.
