OUR VISION
 

We in BACE have an “ever-evolving vision” which involves working  to be the voice of the Caribbean community in Broward County on educational matters, as well as social matters. As we emerge from our infancy, we strive to strengthen our membership and seek new ways to become educational advocates for the students of Broward County,  Pre-K to post-secondary, as well as their families.  We therefore implore you to join us and embrace the “village mentality,” in an effort to serve our community best.

Broward Alliance of Caribbean Educators, Inc., (BACE) exists to positively impact lives through educational opportunities for students, their families and all members of the learning community; to foster positive relations among Caribbean educational professionals; to provide outreach services; and to create a forum to address the civic and social issues for the empowerment of individuals from the Caribbean and wider community.


BACE was incorporated in the State of Florida under the provisions of Chapter 617, Florida Statutes July, 2010, and became a not-for-profit organization under the provisions of Section 501 (c) (3) of the United States of America Internal Revenue Code of 1986 September, 2011.
