Welcome to the BCDI-Milwaukee Affiliate website! Since its chartering in November 1997, the BCDI-
Milwaukee Affiliate has been instrumental in advocating for and promoting the quality of life for
children of color and their families in the Milwaukee community. We strongly believe that every
African American child has the right to live, learn, and grow in a safe environment and to develop a
positive self-image!   Our collaboration with community partners like Aurora Family Service, Aurora
Health Care School Based Health, Children’s Hospital, Children’s Service Society of Wisconsin,
Gray's Child Development Center,  Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc. (Sigma Alpha Zeta Chapter),
Servant Manor, Rights of Passage, and the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Trio Programs,
helps us to implement programs and provide services that will enhance the quality of life of African
American children and their families.

African American children face many unique challenges in American society.  In Milwaukee,
stressors like poverty, violence, mental health, child abuse, neglect, poor education, and teen
pregnancy impact their quality of life.   BCDI-Milwaukee is committed in helping African American
children overcome challenges and barriers in education, health care, mental health, and child
welfare that might prevent them from reaching their full potential in life.

The Black Child Development Institute - Milwaukee Affiliate is an affiliate of the National Black Child
Development Institute, Inc.  Established in 1971,
NBCDI exists to improve and protect the quality of
life of African American children and their families. This nonprofit organization has provided and
supported programs, workshops, and resources for African American children, their parents and
communities in:

•        Early Care and Education
•        Health
•        Elementary and Secondary Education
•        Child Welfare
•        Parenting
