Community Service
Our programs are designed to provide youth with the skills, knowledge, and resources they need to succeed in life. Community service and community engagement are necessary for building connections among our local residents. Community service helps create a stronger sense of belonging, while also providing essential services and support to those in need. It also encourages student involvement and leadership development. It can help promote awareness of local issues and community needs while strengthening partnerships between KBSU and local organizations. Community engagement enhances personal growth and civic responsibility among our young leaders.
We are stronger together
Black Student Unions originated in the 1960s during the Civil Rights Movement to address racial inequalities in education. Since then, the power of unions has grown substantially. Unions, in general, promote economic equality and build worker power, helping workers win increases in pay, better benefits, and safer working conditions. However, the benefits of unions extend far beyond the workplace and school settings. Unions also give regular people and students a voice in shaping their communities and in their political representation. Unions have been historic in helping people work together. KBSU commits to this work and connecting our members with resources within our local and extended community network.
