Who we are

The BC Community Alliance (BCCA) is a local Black-led, community-based organization formed in 2019 and registered as a non-profit in 2020, dedicated to addressing the structural inequities created by racism, especially anti-Black racism, within education settings in British Columbia. The organization was born out of a crisis in our community, following a racist bomb threat at a Vancouver high school, Lord Byng Secondary, and recognizing the broad harm that occurred not only to Black students in the school but also felt within the broader community, especially other Black community members.

Although the ‘Lord Byng incident' was a foundational moment in the formation of the BC Community Alliance, we are more accurately understood as a response to the racism that is felt by many racialized students.

• Assist with social media scheduling and administrative coordination as needed
• Support BCCA's youth-focused programming by attending events, taking notes, setting up rooms, and organizing resources

What you bring

• Strong organizational and communication skills
• Ability to manage competing tasks with attention to detail
• Willingness to support community-facing activities, including occasional evenings/weekends
• Experience using Google Workspace (Docs, Sheets, Drive), Zoom, and social media platforms
