We actively engage both seniors and youth in events that celebrate Black culture, history, and achievements
Through workshops and activities, we provide Black youth with leadership development opportunities
At Black Youths Seniors Connect, we believe in the power of community and the transformative impact of intergenerational collaboration
If you're a senior with life experiences, knowledge, and wisdom to share, we invite you to become a mentor.
If you're a Black youth passionate about your community and eager to connect with seniors, we need your energy and enthusiasm!
