All BSSS activities are culturally specific, in that they are created and implemented by Black professionals representing both public and private sectors acting in concert with Black educators. Workshop topics stem from workshop evaluations, students’ voice, an annual Black community needs assessment, conducted in conjunction with students and community members. The overarching goal of the summit is to enhance students’ social capital such that they are empowered to be unlimited in their choice of educational and career opportunities.
