Building a community of like-minded individuals can be challenging, especially for black students who face unique systemic barriers. That's why we provide a range of tools to help students establish a BSA, including guidance on organization, communication, and leadership. Our tools are designed to empower students to create a space where black students can connect, share their experiences, and advocate for change. We believe that when we come together and support one another, we can create a brighter future for ourselves and our communities. Explore our tools to help start your own BSA and take the first step towards building a strong and supportive community.
