The organization that I selected to share is NBCDI National Black Child Development Institute. You are able to find more about the organization and what they do from their website www.nbcdi.org. The organization was established in 1970 and their vision is to ensure a successful future of all children (National Black Child Development Institute 2013). The organization is a resource agency that provide “publications programs, publications, advocacy and trainings related to early childhood care and education; K-12 education; health and wellness; literacy; family engagement; and child welfare” (National Black Child Development Institute. 2013). The organization provides resources for most of the issues that affects children and their families. They address issues such as health, poverty, African American males in the public school, family engagement, and cultural competence improvement. The organization is also comprised of volunteers and provides opportunities for others to join or become involved. NBCDI is also a community based organization that welcomes others that want to join the organization. The organization also provides opportunities for individuals to start a chapter in their community. I encourage you to check out and join the organization. It provides a wealth of information that EC providers will find beneficial for the students, the parents, the community as well as themselves.
