Welcome to the BBCA Homepage

The Black Boaters Club of America. (BBCA) is a community based not-for-profit organization that seeks to make water safety education and training available to all waterfronts and water based recreational facilities. The primary focus is on at-risk youths, the disadvantaged, and the physically and mentally challenged.

The BBCA utilizes state recreational facilities to initiate a number of programs with the sole intent to welcome and urge this specific community sector to participate. The BBCA will not be in competition with other providers, rather the role of the BBCA will be as facilitator. The BBCA will strive to bring together the appropriate users and providers to achieve these goals.
