Rainier Beach Action Coalition

RBAC is a place-based Black-led non-profit rooted in and stewarding the Neighborhood Plan. RBAC has had a historical presence in Rainier Beach for nearly 2 decades through signature events, like the Back2School Bash and quarterly Town Halls, and community outreach and empowerment. Over time, RBAC has developed programs catered to young adults from the Southend, providing year-round employment opportunities to a roster of 40 community members and professional development to emerging leaders. Their efforts directly impact critical issues affecting the well-being of residents living in Rainier Beach and surrounding areas.

Our mission is to empower a thriving cultural neighborhood with equitable access to economic opportunity, housing, and healthy food. Our work is primarily done through community engagement, youth development, local events, and advocacy.
