Who we are

Black Central: A Beacon of Empowerment Born from a deep understanding of systemic barriers faced by Black communities, Black Central stands as a testament to change, resilience, and empowerment. Our mission is clear: to dismantle the barriers to essential services, celebrating and nurturing the success of Black individuals and businesses. By centralizing the different services and the community into a one stop shop, we hope to improve access to vital and often life saving services from legal, healthcare to financial resources, we're not just promising empowerment—we're making it a reality.

Our goal is to enhance financial, legal, and health literacy and well-being among Black communities in British Columbia, ensuring access to culturally safe and bias-free services.
