The National
Black Child Development Institute (NBCDI) has different affiliates in over
twenty communities across the nation. These networks partner with children,
families and other organizations to implement literacy, health, juvenile
justice, parent engagement and college-readiness for young children.
In exploring
the website further, I did find that the organizations does not offer a weekly
newsletter. They do have a social media account on Instagram that does share upcoming
events.
The NBCDI is
working towards equity for young African American children and their families. As
I looked into two of the affiliate websites, I learned that the DC affiliate
offered a resource titled “Being Black Is Not a Risk Factor: A
Strengths-Based Look at the State of the Black Child. This publication
discusses the challenge Black children face such as limitations and deficits
within education. The Chicago affiliate is hosting a nutrition event. The
National Black Child Development Institute (NBCDI) and Too Small to Fail,
BCDI-Chicago’s Nutrition Education Project promotes healthy eating
by offering nutrition education to children and families.
Through these
affiliate resources and events the organization is creating awareness within
the community. These helpful resources can help children and families gain
access for their needs to be meet in order to become successful.

ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing your resources. Although your organization does not have a newsletter I think that because of the way of the world we live in now they can still be as effective in getting information out via social media which has proven to be just as effective as word of mouth.
