September Newsletter

National Voter Registration Day is September 17, 2024.

Empowering young children with safety skills is a key part of their growth, and when taught through the lens of cultural heritage, these lessons resonate even deeper.

BCDI-Atlanta’s "Keeping Us Safe" provides two guides—one for children ages 0-5 and another for ages 6-8—offering activities that blend safety education with cultural traditions. These resources not only teach vital safety concepts but also create a deeper connection to their identity. As you explore the guides, don’t forget to share your journey by tagging BCDI-Atlanta on social media with your photos and videos. Let’s give our children the tools they need to navigate the world confidently and safely.
