Summer camp field trip fun at the DeKalb Chamber Farmers Market. Our BLAC Inc. youth loved exploring fresh, tasty, healthy treats with local vendors today.

Huge thank you to the amazing farmers market vendors for welcoming our young leaders and sharing delicious, better-for-you samples with them.

Special shout-out to Chief Byrd for surprising everyone with ice cream and helping our campers stay cool on such a hot summer day. Community partnerships like this make all the difference.

We're thrilled to announce that BLAC Inc. is a proud recipient of a grant from the DeKalb Township Committee on Youth (COY)! 🎉

Thank you to DeKalb Township and the Committee on Youth for investing in our mission and in the young people we serve. The Committee on Youth works to prevent juvenile delinquency and support the well-being of underserved youth and their families across DeKalb Township — a purpose that lives at the very heart of everything we do at Building Leaders Advocating for Change.

This funding will help us continue delivering mental health support, leadership development, and academic support to youth in our community. We're grateful for partners who believe in the power of investing in the next generation. 💙 DeKalb Township
