You’re an advocate or an ally and want to celebrate and support black talent. You’re on an anti-racism journey and seeking to apply whatever talents and resources you have, to make a difference.
We need volunteers to build the BTI movement.
We need partners to pilot our programming.
We need ambassadors to share our story.
BTI empowers the Black leaders of today and tomorrow four different ways:
PARTNERSHIPS
We partner with brands and organizations that aim to build a new foundation for Black inclusivity
MENTORSHIPS
We match post-secondary students or early-career professionals with carefully selected mentors
