About Us
The Florida Coalition on Black Civic Participation (FCBCP) assists in developing the communities we serve to reach their highest potential and by expanding our programs in other counties within the State of Florida. FCBCP ensures our participants the educational advancement, economic security, health and wellness, education and global empowerment, with a special emphasis on Black women and girls, enabling our participants to become positive productive citizens and self-sufficient. FCBCP provides charitable educational and other community service outreach programs that are open to the general public. Our primary focus is to empower underserved communities via educational activities in the areas of education, health, wealth, and voter education.
We identify challenging problems and situations within the communities we serve, along with the need to resolve those challenges by presenting the most practical approach. We continue to provide charitable educational workshops, roundtable forums and other community service outreach projects to the general public through activities for the ultimate result of social reform. Our collaboration with other grassroots community organizations and well-known television celebrities and personalities has proven very effective in moving our programs throughout the State of Florida. FCBCP is an affiliate of the National Coalition on Black Civic Participation.
Mission
The Florida Coalition strives to create an enlightened community by building relationships at both the local, state, national, and global levels that provides and develops Black leadership. By educating, organizing and mobilizing citizens in our communities, the Coalition seeks to encourage full participation in a barrier-free democracy. Through educational programs and leadership training, the Coalition works to expand, strengthen and empower our communities to make voting and civic participation a cultural responsibility and tradition.
Vision
The Florida Coalition envisions a world in which all people, from youth to seniors, have the tools to participate fully in the democracy at the local, state, national and global levels. By continuing to lead the fight to eliminate barriers to civic participation, the Coalition will promote greater social and economic justice to enhance the quality of Black lives and their allies.
