In 2020 a group of us came together online longing for community. What we figured out is that we wanted to go out into the world, with our unique set of skills and expertise, and bring that kind of community to others through movement and fitness events and programming rooted in joy and connection.
To positively impact the lives of Black people & historically underserved communities through health, wellness & fitness events and by connecting health, wellness & fitness Practitioners with those in need.
To be a beacon in the community by offering a comprehensive platform that connects people to the Wellness and Fitness resources they need, that encompasses scholarships, mentorship, peer-led classes, volunteer hours, and continued education. We aim to be a central hub for trainers and coaches to collaborate, learn from each other, and actively contribute to the communities they come from or live in.
Whether it's free events that allow you to move, sweat and be in community, scholarships or mentorship opportunities we are committed to having an impact and creating more opportunities for connection, wellness and JOY.
At the Black Wellness Cooperative NS, we operate with an Executive Director, Programming Administrator and Finance Administrator.
Our Board is made up of Founding members and other members who want to contribute at the leadership level within our organization and who lend a unique set of skills and expertise. We work directly with the ED and other staff to support the strategic success of the BWC.
Our Board committees support the strategic delivery of the organization and any of our Practitioners and Partners can also join a committee to lend expertise to the mission of the BWC.
At Black Wellness Cooperative NS, we believe in a holistic approach to wellness that addresses the mind, body, and spirit. We strive to create a welcoming and inclusive environment where everyone feels comfortable and supported.
While donations and grant funding are a big part of how we operate as a Not-For-Profit we also rely on Partner organizations to support us with things like affordable services or regular funding to support the continued operation of our organization and delivery of affordable and free services and events by our Practitioners.
Whether we are running events or looking for help with operations a big part of what we do comes down to amazing Volunteers willing to give time and energy to what we do.
