National Black Child Development Institute
As the National Black Child Development Institute (NBCDI) celebrates our 45th anniversary in 2015, we and our engaged network of over 20 Affiliates in communities across the country are committed to being a partner in the Invest in US campaign through social media, events, and other activities. From the implementation of our Parent Empowerment Program, to events during May’s Black Child Development Week, to the release of new Being Black Is Not a Risk Factor reports and our exciting Annual Conference in October, NBCDI will be integrating Invest in US messages as we support high-quality, strengths-based, and culturally-relevant programs and policies that lift up our youngest children and their families. With our members, who are educators, social workers, parents, and other professionals, we look forward to working with our partners nationally and locally as we build a stronger, more diverse network of leaders who celebrate families, promote progress, highlight successes, and collectively advocate for sufficient, sustainable, and equitable funding that ensures each and every child is loved, valued, educated, and supported, right from the start.
