About the Event
Urban Ed Academy, BlackFemaleProject’s Teacher Truth initiative, and Black Teacher Project — all nonprofits serving Black educators in the Bay Area — have united to partner on hosting Black Educators’ Night Out. This event collaboration has grown out of our shared commitment to celebrate and honor Black teachers’ success, joy, and well-being.
We host this annual evening of music, dancing, food, drinks, wellness activities, and more to express our appreciation for the unique gifts Black teachers show up with everyday in support of our students and communities. Educators gather to relax, mingle, reflect, and laugh in this curated Black teacher affinity space.
Black Educators’ Night Out supports Black educators’ mental health and wellness by providing:
an intentional space of appreciation;
curated wellness activations and joyful activities;
resources for professional and personal development;
affinity fellowship with other Black educators and community members;
and more!
