What is NCBP?

 The National Cultural Brokers Project (NCBP) is a national initiative that recognizes and strengthens Cultural Brokering as essential work.

We create spaces for connection, support collective learning, and equip Cultural Brokers to lead meaningful change within communities and the systems that serve them.

Cultural Brokering is about walking alongside communities — listening, building trust, and creating pathways where none existed before.

When Cultural Brokers are supported, the impact reaches far beyond individuals.

  • Communities feel heard, seen, and valued

  • Services become more accessible and culturally responsive

  • Systems move toward being more human-centered and inclusive
