The project will include 1) creating a 5-year strategic and sustainability plan; 2) enhancing financial management practices; 3) creating organizational structures to increase financial stability and sustainability; 4) building organizational capacity and related in-house resources through professional development and trainings to focus on staff and volunteer well-being, development and retention; and 5) conducting community engagement and research sessions with ACB women to prepare for program enhancement and establishing a network of Black and women-led and serving organizations.

Through this 20-month systemic change project, Black Girls Gather will scale the Graduate to Employment Program to advance women’s economic security and prosperity. It will scale to increase representation in leadership roles in Atlantic Canada. It will address systemic barriers to employment, such as race and age bias, gender-based discrimination, and lack of qualification recognition for internationally trained newcomers, for young, Black women and create pathways to overcome them. The project participants are intentionally matched with a senior leader sponsor who can support them on their transition to full-time employment. Upon completion, participants will be enrolled into an alumni program, where they can continue to access resources and engage in a network of mutual support. The project is rooted in Afrocentric principles and prioritizes sponsors who are equipped to center the experiences of Black women to transform their economic potential.
