Week 2: Sharing Web Resources
The name of the organization that I selected was NBCDI: National Black Child Development Institute, www.nbcdi.org.is orgThis organization is committed to improving and advancing the quality of life for black children and their families through education and advocacy. they provide resources for families of black children in areas of child welfare, literacy and family engagement, early care and education.
An issue that caught my attention was their section on Early Care and Education Initiative that leads with the quote from Barack Obama, 2008 "Life doesn't count for much unless you're willing to do your small part to leave our children-all our children-a better world"
The organization has a commitment to ensuring cultural and racial diversity in the workforce. They are on top of that need since our population has grown so much more diverse.
I was also lead to another site resource on Diversity and equality in Early childhood system. www.buildinitiative.org
