ABOUT US

The Black Community Resource Centre (BCRC) takes a comprehensive approach to meeting the needs of English-speaking youth. We refer to this approach as the “Holistic Project.” In adopting this approach to community service, we recognize that youth have many needs (e.g., socio-cultural, educational, and economic, etc.) that must be addressed in order for youth to achieve their maximum potential in our society.

Mission

BCRC is a growing, resource-based organization that strengthens community capacity by providing professional support to organizations and individuals in need. The Centre is committed to helping visible minority youth rekindle their dreams, and achieve their full potential.
