To give our future the chance it deserves, NBCDI advances a multi-faceted agenda to promote and protect the well-being of all African American children. NBCDI’s wide range of programs respond to the necessity to replace the one-size fits-all, deficit-oriented paradigm with initiatives that serve children based on their strengths and needs. Our programs assist children and families who are experiencing challenges in the areas of early care and education, health, parenting, education, and child welfare.
NBCDI’s affiliate chapters composed of volunteers are not only reaching out to African American children; they’re connecting with them in ways that make a difference. NBCDI also serves as a resource to people who are professionally and personally committed to children and families.
