Every Bit Helps
Support Us
Why does PoBC need funds?
Currently we hold quarterly meetings for Black parents. We have had participation rates of up to 90 parents per meeting. We rely on the generosity of community organizations such as Markham African Caribbean Canadian Association (MACCA) to pay for space, printing, food and any other costs associated with quarterly meetings. In addition, we are raising funds to do the following:
Workshops for Parents
We’ll be offering workshops to build parent capacity on navigating the
education system
Workshops for Students
Self esteem and capacity building workshops and events
Advocacy
Our work is about advocacy, we are using research and shared experiences to create materials that can be used to assist us as in our advocacy.
Are we a registered charity?
We are not a registered charity, but we have partnered with an organizational mentor who is, so we can ensure you receive a Tax Receipt. You can now donate to us through the Youth Empowering Parents Canada Helps donate page! IMPORTANT: YOU MUST designate your support goes to Parents of Black Children.
