ABOUT BLACK FAMILY WEEKEND
We are a nonprofit 501(c)3 organization that teams up with various San Jose State University (SJSU) and other local organizations to provide inclusive, enjoyable Black Family Weekend experiences for current/future SJSU students, alumni, faculty/staff, and the surrounding communities.
Our Mission
To execute events and programs that focus on Black Family culture at SJSU and its surrounding communities culminating in Black Family Weekend during SJSU’s football homecoming.
Our Impact
Black Family Weekend provides a sense of community and camaraderie among many local organizations, SJSU students, alumni, faculty, and staff from across the country.
Bringing these groups together around a fun social activity once a year provides opportunities to network around job and family resources, community service opportunities, educational engagements, etc. Some alumni bring their children who will soon be entering college to give them a taste of college life with the hopes of creating new SJSU students, thus this event directly supports new student acquisition efforts as well.
We create memorable Black Family Weekend reunions!
