We need volunteers to help us plan a PARTY as we kick off our end-of-year giving campaign. As a volunteer, you can help shape this event in ways that bring joy to you and to our community while ensuring that The Foundation for Black Excellence is able to continue furthering our mission.

Our meetings are virtual, so everyone is welcome. Register (link in bio) to volunteer and help make an impact in the our community!!

Someone told us that it's a gift to still have friends from high school, but I know there's some folx out there still rocking with their friends from earlier than that!

Who is your friend that you've known the longest (who is your real Day 1)?

When children and parents benefit, we grow as a community!

It's a fact, all folks are more interested in learning when they can see themselves in the curriculum. When was a time that you truly felt a connection to what you were learning?

Our ancestors risked their lives to be educated, hiding in barns, reading instead of sleeping... Do you believe those high expectations continue today? Where do you see high academic achievement?

Many have asked us why did we decide to focus our program on schools and knowledge. Our ancestors knew the importance of education and risked their lives to get it.

Fortunately, because of their sacrifice, we can reach new heights such as creating FBE Schools. For more information, visit the website or check out our social pages.
