Registration is now open for The Blueprint Project: Framing Your Future Success
Virtual program for DDSB students who identify as Black.
Registration will close on Friday, August 12th, 2022
Durham Black Educators' Network and the Blueprint Project: Framing Your Future Success goal is to support Black students in building strong and confident leadership skills that will ensure their success throughout high school. Students will be provided with a toolkit of skills and resources that will empower them to take ownership of their transition and next steps. Students will leave the program with their own personalized “ingredients” necessary to be successful.
