​
Emboldened and grounded by our diverse heritage, now more than ever, we remind ourselves that we are our ancestors’ wildest dreams! With excitement, we continue to offer programming for students, staff, families, and community members who identify as part of the Black diaspora in the Durham Region. While doing this work, we continue to grow our partnerships with allies and community partners.
How you can help
At DBEN, we care about our youth and strive to provide them with all the resources they need in order to become successful leaders. We are committed to empowering today’s youth to be the leaders of tomorrow - and couldn’t have gotten this far without your generous contributions. Donate today or sign up to be a mentor and make the biggest impact on the lives of our DDSB Black youth.

Together, Canadians must do more than just talk about reconciliation; we must learn how to practise reconciliation in our everyday lives – within ourselves and our families, and in our communities, governments, places of worship, schools, and workplaces. To do so constructively, Canadians must remain committed to the ongoing work of establishing and maintaining respectful relationships.”
