Dr. DeHaney is the CEO of the national black child development institute (NBCDI). She and other leaders in early childhood education field joined in a podcast to discuss poverty due to the economic downturn this past decade. The discussion also included how schools and communities need to come together in new ways to combat the affects of poverty in their communities. Realizing that schools are a pivotal part of helping families is an important part of addressing issues such as poverty. Economic recovery is the main issue highlighted on the http://www.nbcdi.org/news/early-childhood-education-takes-center-stage-clinton-global-initiative website. This project is called the Global Clinton Initiative.
As a whole the organization provides scholarships to children and works with black children from ages birth to age 8. They are also involved with preparing teachers for teaching and students for college. They are a country wide organization but have local branches all over the US.
The success of low income children is the primary goal for the organization.
