The Black CARE Network. A hub for connection and collaboration.

Making worlds of care.

We are building a digital library of resources that focus on the needs, practices, and priorities of Black communities.

About Us

The Black CARE Network

The Black CARE Network is a hub for connection and collaboration, committed to projects that work for the safety and liberation of Black children and communities. 

We like to bring people together. For events. For initiatives. For special projects. For food. For conversation and jokes. For planning and thinking and wondering and asking and writing and trying and building other ways to take/give/practice care.

We advocate for the safety and freedom of Black children in the Canadian child and youth care sector through community focused projects.

IN THE WORKS

Our Latest Project

The ABR Curriculum Review & Research project is our current project. The project looks into the ways in which anti-Black racism is taught, disrupted, and upheld in CYC pre-service education.

HELPFUL RESOURCES FOR THE COMMUNITY

From the Resource Library

Our growing resource library is a collection of helpful resources that focuses on the needs and priorities of the Black community. Watch, read, listen and explore.
