National Black Students Alliance Curriculum Development

I started The National Black Student Alliance in 2020 as a resource for Black students all across the United States to support creating their own respective alliances. We strive for Black students to have the option for an out-of-classroom space to come together to practice leadership, and have a brave space with the opportunity to create change. Each school we work with is different, has its unique strengths and challenges, and the NBSA strives to provide individual care to each community. I plan on taking the summer to develop a curriculum that supports the qualitative research I've been gathering on the most asked questions and solutions to building a club.
