What we’re about
Welcome to the Black Educator Collective, a community of Black educators dedicated to supporting and uplifting each other in the teaching profession. Our goal is to provide a safe space where Black educators can come together to connect, socialize, and network. As Black educators, we face unique challenges and experiences in our work that can often lead to feelings of isolation and burnout. Through our events and gatherings, we aim to create a supportive community where we can share ideas, resources, and experiences. Our community is open to all Black educators, regardless of your role or experience in education. We believe that by building a strong community of Black educators, we can empower ourselves and each other to create positive change in our schools and communities. Join us and be a part of a collective that is committed to supporting and uplifting Black educators.

Join us for our End-of-Year Turn-Up at Mission Bowling Club! We're gathering Black folks from around San Francisco to celebrate the close of the year with bowling, drinks, and community vibes.

- Great music, laughter, and chances to meet new people
- Drinks and food available for purchase at the venue

Getting there
Parking in the Mission can be tricky. We recommend:

- Carpooling, rideshare, or public transit (16th Street Mission BART is nearby)
RSVP policy
Space is limited and our lanes are reserved based on RSVPs. If your plans change, please update your RSVP so another member can attend. Respect the space and each other—we don't tolerate hate, misogyny, homophobia, or transphobia. If this event is full here on Meetup, you can still RSVP through our overflow list on Partiful
