Get Involved

Join BCDI Nashville for a special Meet & Greet in Memphis as we come together to strengthen our commitment to improving the lives of Black children and families through education, advocacy, and community engagement. This event offers an opportunity for parents, educators, community leaders, and supporters to learn more about our mission and connect with others who share a passion for creating positive outcomes for children.

During the event, attendees will learn about BCDI’s Eight Essential Outcomes, a framework that envisions every Black child being healthy, safe, supported, and equipped to thrive. Guests will have the opportunity to meet members of our leadership team, discover upcoming programs and initiatives, and explore ways to become involved through membership, volunteering, partnerships, and advocacy. Together, we can build stronger communities, expand opportunities for our children, and ensure that every child has the support they need to reach their full potential.
