BBPU envisions a thriving, empowered, and connected Black community in Beaverton and greater Washington County. We strive to create spaces where Black families, students, and leaders can flourish, embrace their identity, and build a future rooted in cultural pride, educational excellence, and civic engagement. Our vision is to build the ecosystem of resources needed for a connected community to feel safe, loved and seen; a place where Black people of any age want to live and stay.
