Black Child Development Institute Greensboro

In the words of our founder Sarah Walden Herbin, "Who, if not us, will advocate for our children?" Black Child Development Institute of Greensboro, Inc.

(BCDI-G) utilizes a cadre of volunteers to provide programs that support the success of children through advocacy and education. Since 1978 we have recruited, screened and trained thousands of volunteers to provide services to over 15,000 elementary, middle and high school students. Our goal:

1) Increase the number of children who have access to supportive academic services.
2) Increase the numbe

r of children who are reading above grade level.
3) Increase the knowledge base and access of parents to community resources.
4) Increase the number of volunteers engaged in service.

Thank you to our parents and families for your trust and partnership.

A BIG THANK YOU to our afterschool staff and classroom coaches for putting in the work daily. We couldn't do this without you!

Special thanks to our administrative team who ensure everything runs smoothly. Also, thank you to our van drivers, Mr. Jeff and Mr. Maynard, for safely transporting our students, and to Mr. James for keeping our facilities clean and ready for learning. We also appreciate school administrators and staff who welcomed us and supported program operations.

BCDI-G was honored to attend United Way of Greater Greensboro's Annual Meeting and Celebration, represented by our Interim Executive Director, Jocquita Williams, and the Director of Community Engagement, Tonya Gibson.

UWGG's support means so much to our work, not only through funding, but through the connections they help build between organizations committed to serving our community.

We also want to congratulate Beacon Technologies on receiving the Key to the Community Award! Beacon has been a consistent volunteer partner with BCDI-G, and we are grateful for the time and service they continue to share with our children.

It was a beautiful reminder of what happens when organizations come together with a shared commitment to community.

Just a few ingredients is all it takes for the ultimate kid friendly favorite, slime!

1/2 cup white school glue
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 to 2 tbsp contact lens solution (must contain boric acid or sodium borate
Food coloring, optional
Glitter or foam beads, optional (Glitter at your own risk 😝)

Directions
Pour 1/2 cup glue into a bowl.
Stir in 1/2 tsp baking soda.
Add food coloring or glitter, if using.
Add 1 tbsp contact lens solution and stir.
Keep stirring until it starts pulling away from the bowl.
Knead it with your hands for 1 to 2 minutes.
If it’s still too sticky, add a few drops of contact solution at a time.

Store it in a sealed bag or container for days of fun 😊

After a week that included the start of EOG testing, our students enjoyed spending a little creative time with volunteers from United Institutional Baptist Church. Bubble wands and bracelets were perfect for putting both little hands and big creativity to work! 🫧

Thank you to United Institutional Baptist Church for spending time with our students, and to United Way Greater Greensboro for helping make the connection.

Parenting can come with a lot to hold, and children are carrying things too, like big feelings, growing pains, and moments they don’t always know how to explain.

Stress-less parenting doesn’t mean stress-free parenting. It means creating space to pause, listen, reset, and respond with care when things feel heavy.

A little patience, a little humor, and a little support can go a long way for both parents and children.

We're so proud of our scholars and the work they've put in during our EOG test prep activities. We know tests don’t tell the full story of a child’s potential, but they are still an important part of their academic progress. That’s why helping students approach testing with confidence, understanding, and the right support matters so much to us.

Our scholars have been working hard, and we want them to feel encouraged as they head into testing. 𝗣𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗮 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗱 𝗼𝗳 𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗶𝘀 𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺 𝗼𝗻!

BCDI-G had a great time at Erwin Montessori’s Sneaker Ball, connecting with families, seeing familiar faces, and meeting new ones.

We loved seeing them glammed up and so excited for the evening. It was a great way to celebrate with families and staff, the winding down of another school year.

Thank you, Erwin Montessori, for having us. We loved being part of the fun.

Latrayl Adams-Mark, the Director of Counseling and Well-Being for Student Services at Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Schools, has been working with our 2nd through 5th graders, leading conversations focused on social-emotional learning. She has been helping them develop important life skills, such as understanding their emotions, gratitude, and learning to be present for themselves and others.

We’re grateful for the way she has connected with our students and created space for conversations that matter. We’re looking forward to having her back with us this summer!

When childcare works, families stay stable—and communities move forward.

Access to reliable, affordable childcare shapes whether families can work, children can learn, and households can build a more secure future. It’s not just a personal decision—it’s a community system that influences opportunity, economic mobility, and long‑term outcomes.

At United Way of Greater Greensboro, we bring together partners, data, and community voices to connect childcare access to poverty reduction and economic stability. Ending poverty means strengthening the systems families rely on every day.

Take action: stay informed, support community‑led childcare solutions, and join us in advancing systems that help families—and Greensboro—thrive.
