ABOUT THE GREATEST MINDS/NATIONAL BLACK COLLEGE ALLIANCE(NBCA):
About NBCA & Greatest MINDS: National Black College Alliance (NBCA) is an extended network of college students, alumni, and community members who are committed to mentoring the next generation of community leaders in Boston. Founded in 2000 by Boston-area Black college students and alumni, NBCA has worked in Roxbury, Dorchester and Mattapan particularly around Grove Hall and Dudley Square, to create positive role models and support for urban Black youth, counteracting negative stereotypes as well as the realities of gangs, drugs, and violence affecting many urban communities. Our two main strategies are to support college access and success for students of color, particularly those experiencing inter-generational poverty; and to promote civic engagement and community-based leadership in Boston’s Black neighborhoods (NBCA’s Greatest MINDS Community Engagement Initiative). The NBCA & Greatest MINDS believes in the importance of educational opportunities and social connections that promote success for both individuals and communities.
