CENTER FOR BLACK EXCELLENCE AND EMPOWERMENT
Anti-Racism Community Awareness and Education (JumpStart)
This program aims to reduce hate crimes and racial discrimination through awareness campaigns while also empowering Black individuals’ communities by creating a nurturing and supportive environment where they can take advantage of the different opportunities that give them a competitive advantage in economic and social development. Discrimination against them is harmful to Blacks, and the entire country is on the verge of erupting because they lack the resources to devise a solution.
This program is designed to reduce anti-Black racism through various community education activities that aimed to prevent the occurrence of racial discrimination incidents.
Anti-racism Community Education and Awareness Campaign
Through our Black and African Diaspora Awareness and Education campaigns, we partner with various communities with the goal of educating non-black Canadians about the historical and contemporary positive impact and contributions of Black culture to reduce prejudices, misconceptions, segregation, and anti-black racism and to foster an environment of unity, empathy, and understanding.
Racism-free and Inclusive Workplace Campaign
In today’s world, black communities face significant hardships and a lack of belonging within society. Blacks in Canada are now making up a sizable proportion of the population, but they remain the most oppressed and marginalized.
The difficult circumstances that Black people face due to limited opportunities for education and training, viable employment, and health and social services, as well as an increase in substance abuse and racist discrimination, are eroding their chances of becoming developed and integrated members of our community. Their imagination, ideals, considerable energies, and vision are critical to the country’s continued development.
We partner with business and other social services with the goal of:
- Providing inclusive workplace leadership that facilitates learning, offers resources, and demonstrates empathy or the Black community through a workplace-specific program geared toward ending systemic racism.
- Reducing socioeconomic disparities and systemic racism experienced by Black people in health, finance, education, labour market, and society by developing an inclusive workplace that closes the achievement gap and assists them in recognizing their leadership potential.
- Increasing the self-confidence and motivation of marginalized Black Canadians by connecting them with high-achieving Black Canadians who have broken down social and economic barriers through the development of a mentorship program that promotes Black excellence.
