About Us

"The education system in the UK has been failing black boys for years.
It has been recognized that a sound education offers benefits to young people that exceed financial prospects."

Lord William Morris of Handsworth OJ,

                                               Patron -  National Black Boys Can Association
 

Educational qualifications and a full and positive learning experience can provide a route to a future that is rich in social, intellectual and experiential opportunities that they deserve.

The National Black Boys Can Association, a community led organisation, has risen up in direct response to this challenge. It is a proactive, action-oriented organisation that aims to provide black boys with educational opportunity, valuable life skills, and the self-esteem, confidence and determination to succeed. All these qualities are essential if they are to overcome disadvantage and make the most of their formative and adult years.

I am proud to be associated with The National Black Boys Can Association. Raising black boy's awareness of the barriers which many of them face, and empowering them with strategies for overcoming those barriers, will pay dividends to the boys not only throughout their years at school but throughout their adult years too.
