Our Mission

The Blackyard Collective is a support network for Black queer people recovering from addiction and alcoholism, whose goal is to build and sustain a community of care grounded in self-love and mutual respect.

We host shared meals, social gatherings, and spiritual retreats that center queerness, Blackness, and wellness in order to uplift the dignity of our identities and experiences so that we might live free from addiction and alcoholism.

The Blackyard Collective is a registered 501(c)(3) organization (Federal Tax ID # 88-3641425) and all donations are tax deductible to the extent allowable by law.
