BLAC and Ontario’s Student and Family Advocates partner to offer legal supports to Black students and families during the 2022-2023 school year.

BLAC has partnered with Ontario’s 17 Black-led Student and Family Advocate Programs (SFA’s) to support and empower Black children in schools across Ontario.

BLAC received $50,000 in funding through Parents of Black Children (PoBC), the lead organization for the SFA’s Community of Practice, and committed to using $50,000 of BLAC’s own donations to provide enhanced legal representation in the area of human rights
and education law.

This initiative will enhance BLAC’s existing programs and services in the area of education law and will allow BLAC to support more families seeking legal support in navigating anti-Black racism in the education system, regardless of their income.
