Together SC seeks to create space for its Black members to increase their impact within the nonprofit and philanthropic sectors while being affirmed, supported and encouraged. Culturally humble learning opportunities, convening, and workshops offered through the Black Nonprofit Leaders Group (BNLG) will equip individuals to secure leadership roles while embracing their cultural heritage as their most important asset.

Purpose

The BNLG exists to strengthen our members' leadership capacity, unite our members through community, and advance the sector to one that prioritizes the voices of Black employees. We strive to...

• Create a community of leaders, from entry-level to executive, committed to improving the nonprofit and philanthropic sectors.
• Strengthen the leadership capacity of Black leaders in the nonprofit and philanthropic sectors.
• Create a sector that values and prioritizes the voice of Black employees.

Participation 

• Any staff of Together SC members responsible for leading their organization's advocacy efforts. Multiple staff members from each organization are permitted. Membership is free.
• The Network manages an active Peer Network ListServ Group so members can connect online to discuss current trends, advocacy needs, and more.
• The Network also hosts gatherings (in-person and virtual) throughout the year to help members engage with each other in meaningful dialogue.

How Do I Join a Peer Network Listserv Group?

As a member of a peer network you can join one or more Peer Network Listserv Groups, a virtual community that allows you to share questions, resources and stay closely connected to your peers. These Peer Network Listserv Groups are moderated by Together SC staff and the Peer Network Leadership Teams.
