We are eagerly anticipating the opportunities that lie ahead and are grateful to everyone who has supported BEC throughout 2023. BEC stands as a beacon of hope for the future of our youth and community."

Why we exist
African Americans in King County, WA are subjected to systemic, disproportionate racial discrimination in all key sectors of society, compounded with institutional sanctioned policies, practices and historical trauma that continues to negatively impact the stability and growth of the Black community in this present day. King County’s The Race Gap Report (2020) acknowledges that the county has played a role in perpetuating the ever-widening generational inequities/inequalities targeting communities of color.
