OUR COMMITMENT TO BELONGING, DIGNITY, JUSTICE, AND JOY

Located in a primarily Black and Brown community grappling with decades of systemic oppression, EOYDC is committed to advancing racial and socioeconomic equity and justice in all that we do. EOYDC intentionally cultivates a climate in which Black and Brown youth feel a sense of belonging, dignity, and joy. Key to this is fostering a relational, healing-centered, culturally sustaining approach, while centering those most systematically marginalized.

EOYDC’s trauma-informed, healing centered approach to service delivery involves understanding, recognizing, and responding to the effects of trauma. At EOYDC we recognize the widespread impact of trauma in our community, and strive to implement practices, policies, settings, and procedures that:

Recognize the widespread impact of trauma and reflect potential paths for recovery.

Recognize the signs and symptoms of trauma in participants, families, staff, and others.

Resists re-traumatization of participants & staff.

Leads with compassion, support, and understanding.

Focuses on developing coping strategies and correcting behavior vs. being punitive.
