WELCOME TO SOCA

Welcome to SFU Students of Caribbean and African Ancestry (SOCA), Simon Fraser University’s Black Community Support Group. 
SOCA is a student organization dedicated to fostering a safe, inclusive, and empowering space for students of Black, African, and Caribbean descent, as well as allies, at SFU. Through collaborations with various organizations and community partners, SOCA develops programs and events that celebrate culture, raise awareness, and engage the campus community in meaningful conversations surrounding issues impacting African and Caribbean diasporic communities.

Why Join SOCA?

OUR CORE Values

Racism and discrimination affect individuals and communities in many ways, and addressing them requires collective effort. SOCA welcomes students from all backgrounds to take part in advancing anti-oppression work and challenging systemic barriers on campus and beyond.
​
​Beyond advocacy, SOCA focuses on building community and connection among students of Black, African, and Caribbean descent through cultural events, social programming, and collaborative initiatives. We create spaces for students to celebrate culture, share experiences, access peer support, and develop leadership opportunities within the campus community.
  • INCLUSIVITY
  • REPRESENTATION
  • COMMUNITY-BUILDING
