The mission of Durham Children’s Initiative (DCI) is to improve outcomes for Durham by creating a pipeline of high-quality, evidence-based services for children and families that spans from birth to college or career. Modeled after the Harlem Children's Zone, our vision is to prepare every child in Durham for college or a career by the time they graduate from high school. DCI impacts the lives of hundreds of children that reside in low-income households within the area.
