The Black Power Blueprint (BPB) programs are transforming North St. Louis through renovation, economic development, and political power by and for the black community. The BPB Promotions Team is seeking local photographers and videographers to capture the dynamic activities and community participation during our many events. Have some skills? Want to practice them and improve? Have time every week or every month? We have the perfect volunteer spot for you on our team. We need YOU to help tell the untold story of the life changing projects happening in a majority black North St. Louis neighborhood that has been deliberately neglected by the city for decades. Black Power Blueprint is revitalizing every aspect of life on the Northside, bringing healthy food to a food desert, renovating unused homes for low cost housing, creating employment and uplifting cultural life. This area, now scarred by the vast majority of the 25,000 abandoned houses and lots in St. Louis, is home to the life-changing Black Power Blueprint project. Black Power Blueprint has opened a basketball court, a community garden, a community farm that distributes free vegetables, painted beautiful murals and continues to renovate abandoned buildings to transform and uplift the long neglected area along the West Florissant Corridor. A Buy Black Power retail store, workforce training program, an African Women's Health Center and Doula Training Program, and a small business district constructed out of shipping containers are all in progress. This volunteer position is open to anyone and everyone. You will be helping to revitalize and rejuvenate a once thriving Black Community. Come join us and have a great time doing vitally important work. We look forward to hearing from you soon. This is an in-person project for people in and around St. Louis. Sign up today through Idealist or you can email us at volunteer@blackpowerblueprint.org or call us at 314-380-8016. Contact us with any questions!
