As I continue my
journey in early childhood education I decided to subscribe to National Black
Child Development Institute newsletter. The organization for the last 40 years
have focus its attention on black children and their families and making their
lives better in regards to health, education, and their well being. The NBCDI
focuses on giving children and families a chance to better themselves and to be
a positive part of society. One of the
things I found interesting about the NBCDI is a new program they introduced
called Parent Empowerment Project (PEP). PEP is a program created particularly
for low income parents. The programs teaches parents how to empower their
children to have high self esteem, positive parenting techniques, and increased
knowledge of community resources. Organizations such as NBCDI although may be
geared towards black children and their families, can benefit other ethnic
groups as well.
That is a great resource and as you mentioned, it can also empower and be of great use to other cultures as well. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteSteffanie, I didn't know a website like this existed and I am interested in subscribing to it as well. I find it interesting that they focus solely on improving and advocating for black children and families. I look forward to learning more about their work since I work in a majority black environment. Thanks!
