SDUSD BSU Coalition
About Us
The Black Student Union Coalition is a project backed by the San Diego Unified School District and co-founded by student leaders Tatiana Howell and Endiya Griffin (2019). It serves as a platform and community through which Black students, allies, and community stakeholders throughout the greater San Diego area can connect in order to uplift the Black community. Throughout our website you will find resources such as the BSU Coalition Handbook, BSU meeting model curriculum, community partnership opportunities, Black community related events going on throughout San Diego.
mission
The Black Student Union Coalition’s mission is to empower and support Black students in San Diego Unified School District by uniting and working alongside students, community partners, and allies of the Black community.
Vision
Our vision is to create a collective of Black student organizations for whom we will provide a foundation and voice. With this voice, we will combat systemic racism, provide opportunities for enrichment, and raise awareness about the importance of identity development. As we engage in culturally-responsive curriculum, attend Black events, and work on service projects, we hope to uplift San Diego's Black community creating lasting effects for generations to come.
