Mission

EDCI’s mission is to create and sustain, within the 120-block zone we serve in East Durham, a community free of social, educational, and economic obstacles that prevent students from being successful in school, graduating on time from high school, and continuing on to college or a career.

What We Do

EDCI works to alleviate the impact of poverty on the 120-block community we serve in East Durham, and ensure that its children graduate from high school ready for college or a career. We secure the necessary resources, supports, and interventions the community’s children and youth need to prepare them for academic success and productive futures. To do so, we collaborate and connect our families with a comprehensive continuum of programs and services that ameliorate social, economic, and educational challenges.
