Make the first Black Student Summit a Success!

A fundraiser for United Way of Delaware (UWDE)

$410 raised from 10 donors

$3,000 goal

Too many of young adults in high school have the desire to change their communities to make them more equitable, but not the resources, training, & community to do it. 

On April 9, 2022; we want to change that. 

Much like the purpose of the National Black Student Alliance (NBSA) serves to provide Black students and their allies a community, brave space and the opportunity for change, so too does Delaware’s first Black Student Summit seek to empower our next generation of leaders. This event is designed to wrap training and education around students who are or seek to become members of their school’s Black Student Union/Association. It’s also designed to create a new network for students connect and plug into resources and appropriate adult support. The theme student selected theme for this year is Amplify Black Youth Voices.  The Summit is meant to refuel, train, and uplift students and the adults that support them. We will offer training and education during the Summit to help students understand why it’s important to use their voice and how it do it appropriately. 

We need YOUR help to make this a success. 

Every dollar counts. Thank you in advance to supporting our these young adults in their journeys to greatness.
