Elevating the African American experience
NEW!
NEW!
Project DREAMS is an acronym for Dialogues for Racial Equity, Advocacy, and Mattering in Schools. Every week, teens come together with mentors and peers to share their experiences. You’ll get the chance to document things you see—whether they show racial equity or inequity—throughout the program. At the end of it all, you’ll present your findings at a special event, “Equity Day”. You'll get to talk about the policies, practices, norms, and behaviors that can support youth and youth of color in our community.
You’ll also earn $25 per session you attend (and contribute to!)and seniors in the program will be eligible for a scholarship up to $1,000 at the end of the program.

We seek to expand, include and elevate African Americans' historic and present-day contributions through education and engagement. Our vision is to lead the Delaware community in understanding the African American experience.
DAAHC Council Chair, Tamika Vinson-Reid
Change requires us to acknowledge existing injustices and systemic racism. Progress requires a relentless pursuit from every one of us. We are not calling you out, instead, we’re calling you in – this work is collective and requires community.
Resolved to create change, the council was formed to address gaps through community-wide programs, events, and workshops.
