Connecting Communities for Lasting Change: Establishing Strong Black Partnership
Establishing Black Partnership Networks is a key aspect of the UpowerUp movement, which aims to create a mechanism for connecting individuals and organizations that share a commitment to empowering the Black community. By bringing together churches, ministries, entrepreneurs, non-profits, foundations, and other change agents, we are able to drive awareness and build a collective sense of responsibility for addressing social issues. Through these partnerships, participants gain access to a network of resources, knowledge, and support that can help them overcome the challenges they face in their daily lives. This includes training, coaching, mentorship, and other opportunities to develop the skills and confidence they need to succeed. With this support, we believe that Black individuals and their communities can achieve greater levels of success, resilience, and well-being, while also making a positive impact on society as a whole.
Ultimately, the establishment of these networks represents a powerful step towards achieving our vision of a world where Black individuals are empowered to realize their full potential and thrive in every aspect of their lives. Join us today and become a part of this movement for positive change!

Black-Centric Approach
We incorporate and acknowledge the importance of the black experience in all that we do. Our programs and services are designed to empower black individuals, families, and communities through education, training, mentorship, and advocacy.

We believe in the power of black leadership. That's why we ensure that people who self-identify as black hold at least two-thirds of the leadership roles at all management and governance levels. By doing this, we can ensure that our organization remains authentic, culturally relevant, and effective in addressing the unique needs of the black community.

We provide culturally appropriate programs and services designed to address the specific needs of black individuals, families, and communities. Our leadership table includes black leaders, and we frequently collaborate with other black-led organizations to ensure that our services remain relevant and impactful.

We aim to empower black people, equip families, and transform communities. We believe investing in the black community can create a ripple effect that will benefit society. Through our programs and services, we strive to help black individuals achieve their full potential, contribute to their communities, and become agents of positive change.

From Empower to Transform
The UpowerUp approach is all about transformation, not just temporary empowerment. We start by identifying the root cause of the issue so that we can address it head-on. Then we inspire and influence individuals to make positive changes in their lives. But we don’t stop there – we help them implement and improve those changes so that they can see real progress. And finally, we work to institutionalize the change so that it becomes a lasting part of their lives and communities. With this approach, we’re not just empowering individuals – we’re transforming lives and communities for the better.
