About

NBCDI’s focus has been on achieving positive outcomes for vulnerable children who suffer from the dual legacies of poverty and racial discrimination. By organizing as a national advocacy group, NBCDI has created a movement to develop strategies to improve the life circumstances of Black children through policy change. 

NBCDI’s mission has benefited millions of children and their families. As a leading organization working on behalf of Black children, our future is about growth and sustainability, forging new boundaries, and promoting strengths-based programs and policies that lift up our children in the context of their families, communities, and cultures.
