In turn, DLC graduates empower our community through their productive citizenship. The DLC partners with many agencies, including Durham Technical Community College, Urban Ministries of Durham, TROSA, the Durham County Library, El Centro Hispano and the Durham Children’s Initiative. We’re proud to have been recognized locally and statewide for our high quality programming, strict accountability and solid results. To achieve our mission, the DLC trains and supports several hundred volunteers who serve more than 700 students each year. Over the past three decades, the DLC has helped more than 18,000 residents move ahead.
