Powering Up the Community

BECC is all about leveling up Osceola’s Black community—pushing for what’s right and making sure everyone’s tapped in. We’re here to build a world where surviving isn’t enough—we thrive. With the right moves—better schools, real healthcare, economic opportunities, safe spaces, and justice for all—we’re unlocking a future where we all shine. This is bigger than a mission; it’s a movement. Let’s make it happen.

Council Tables

This is the engine of BECC—our tables are where the moves get made. Each one is laser-focused on holding it down for Osceola’s Black community. From Education, Health, and Economic Development to Public Safety, Grants and Nonprofit Initiatives, and Social Justice, every table is about real action, no fluff.

These squads are making it happen: opening up lanes in education, putting health and wellness on the map, running up economic opportunities, keeping our neighborhoods safe, boosting local nonprofits, and standing solid for justice. It’s all about coming at the big issues from every angle, creating a community that grows, supports, and thrives. When our tables move, the whole community levels up.

Education

Closing Gaps. Building Futures.

We’re here to make sure our kids don’t just show up—they show out. Through mentorship, scholarships, and real-deal advocacy, we’re opening doors and paving paths so every student can shine.

 

Because when they win, we all win.

Health & Wellness

Health is Wealth—For Real.

We’re keeping our community healthy and informed with wellness fairs, free screenings, and resources that meet folks where they’re at. From prevention to access, we’ve got your back.

Because thriving starts with feeling your best.

Economic Development

For the Hustlers. For the Builders.

Black businesses deserve to thrive—not just survive. With workshops, expos, and tools that actually help you level up, we’re here to make sure your grind pays off.

Because when Black businesses flourish, we all get to eat.

Public Safety

Trust. Safety. Respect.

We’re building safer communities with trust at the center. By creating spaces to connect with law enforcement and pushing for community-led solutions, we’re taking charge of our safety.

 

Because feeling safe shouldn’t be up for debate.

Advocacy

Equity Ain’t Optional.

From policy advocacy to fighting for systemic change, we’re holding the line for justice and fairness. We’re educating, organizing, and taking action to make sure our community gets what it’s owed.

Because real change happens when we show up, together.
