Our Approach
Black College Success is rooted in the belief that trust and community are the bedrock of change. We partner with Los Angeles high schools and colleges across the country to walk alongside Black students and their families, guiding them on a path to higher education.
Once our students reach college, we wrap them in the support they deserve—scholarships, mentorship, tutoring, and more—so they not only persist but thrive, graduating with the skills and connections to break into high-demand careers and reshape the future for themselves and their communities.
Our Values
Belonging Through Community
We don’t just create space—we build spaces where Black students feel seen and supported. Belonging is about fostering a community that reflects and uplifts our students, where they can thrive together.
Empowerment Through Agency
Empowerment is about giving students the freedom to shape their own futures. By providing knowledge, mentorship, and support, we help them find their voice and claim their place in the world, making their own decisions along the way.
Equity Through Access
Equity begins with access. We’re committed to breaking down barriers that keep Black students from opportunities, ensuring they not only enter the room but excel in it.
Innovation Through Creativity
Creativity drives innovation, and for our students, it’s about pushing boundaries and imagining what’s possible. We encourage them to challenge the status quo, dream big, and build the future they envision.
