Details

The BIPOC Foundation aims to empower and amplify the voices of Black, Indigenous, and People of Colour through various initiatives. This project focuses on creating a comprehensive toolkit that will serve as a resource for community leaders and organizations to enhance their engagement and empowerment strategies. The toolkit will include best practices, case studies, and actionable strategies for leadership development, entrepreneurship, and promoting arts and culture within BIPOC communities. By leveraging classroom knowledge in social sciences, communications, and cultural studies, learners will research and compile relevant information to create a user-friendly and impactful resource. The goal is to provide a practical guide that can be used by community leaders to foster sustainable growth and development within BIPOC communities.

Deliverables

The project deliverables will include a well-researched and designed BIPOC Community Engagement and Empowerment Toolkit. This will consist of a digital document or website featuring sections on leadership development, community engagement strategies, entrepreneurship, and arts and culture promotion. Additionally, the toolkit will include case studies and examples of successful initiatives, along with actionable steps and resources for implementation.
