Who We Are
At Black Youths Seniors Connect,
we are a dedicated, intergenerational organization committed to empowering Black youths through the sharing of wisdom and experiences from Black seniors. We aim to create spaces where the younger and older generations come together to engage in meaningful exchanges that promote mutual respect, understanding, and growth.
Our Mission
Our mission is to connect the rich cultural knowledge and life experiences of Black seniors with the boundless potential and energy of Black youth. By fostering intergenerational collaboration, we strive to build strong, vibrant communities where cultural heritage and personal development are celebrated. Through these connections, we believe that both seniors and youths can learn from each other, providing a foundation of support, understanding, and empowerment.
We understand the importance of strengthening both the cultural fabric and the emotional resilience of our community. Through home tuition, mentorship, and community events, we create opportunities for Black youth to thrive academically, socially, and personally, while ensuring that the wisdom of our elders is passed down to future generations.
By fostering these bonds, we aim to overcome barriers of isolation, improve educational outcomes, and enhance leadership skills within the Black community. Our organization stands as a beacon of empowerment, where both youth and seniors are encouraged to participate, share, and grow together for a brighter future.
