Get Involved

The Village has a role to play.

Black youth grow when people give, volunteer, partner, share resources, open doors, and strengthen the Village surrounding them.

Volunteer

Bring your time, gifts, and care to the work.

BOON volunteers help extend the work behind research, gatherings, storytelling, communication, community connection, and resource development.

You do not need to fit one specific mold. Tell us what you are good at, what you care about, and how you would like to help.
