Strengthening the Black Village is a Cal-Pac Advance Special. 

“Weaving together villages of care for the nourishment of the souls, bodies, and minds of our children.”

Strengthening the Black Village (SBV)’s 7th Cohort of Effective Black Parenting (published by the DC Children’s Trust Fund) sessions will take place 5-7 p.m. PDT on Tuesdays and Thursdays from August 6 through September 26, 2024, on Zoom. Attendance at all sessions is required to receive a certificate, and missing sessions will require approval and potentially make-up sessions.

Although we emphasize strengthening Black families, families most severely impacted by involvement with child welfare systems, we welcome and adapt our curriculum to all. Strengthening the Black Village (SBV) has hosted Jewish, Latinx, protestant, Catholic, Muslim, and everyone in between because it takes a village to raise a child.

We welcome anyone who wants to volunteer to learn how to conduct the courses to join our team. If interested, please fill out the registration form, which includes an agreement to participate, attend, model, and teach good skills and habits as we journey together.

• Technical requirements: To participate in Zoom meetings, participants must have a reliable Internet connection, and a laptop, tablet, or smartphone device that can download and install the Zoom app. A web or phone camera and a microphone are highly recommended, although some users may call in via phone if a mic is not available.
