Directory
BlackOwned Connect is live!
This directory is a tool to help our community consciously direct its $1.9 trillion in spending power. We invite you to list your business, discover, and support Black-owned businesses in every industry and be part of building lasting economic strength within our communities.
After-School Online Tutoring Program
Our after-school online tutoring program offers free virtual tutoring sessions to K-12 students from 4:00 to 6:00 PM, Monday through Friday. Designed to bridge academic gaps, our program provides personalized support in areas where students are struggling. We aim to prevent all students from falling behind and foster academic success.
Virtual Community Support Network
This network is here to address the mental health crisis affecting our community. We have created a safe and accessible space for individuals to connect with others and receive the mental health support needed to thrive. Together, with the help of volunteers, coaches, and mentors, we are just a click away from guidance and support. (Click Support in the Header).
Community Housing Project
We're launching our Community Housing Project to tackle housing disparities head-on. By partnering with licensed contractors, subcontractors, and community volunteers, we're building quality, two-bedroom, one-bath homes for under $100,000. This project makes homeownership a reality for working families and strengthens our community from the ground up. We are also seeking land donations to help us expand this mission. To learn more or get involved, contact us today.
