Coach/Advocates for Black Students
The Coach/Advocates for Black Students (C.A.B.S.) role was established as part of Durham Catholic District School Board’s (DCDSB) commitment to recognizing and dismantling anti-Black racism and systemic barriers within its learning community.
C.A.B.S. work within designated schools to support students, families, and the school community. Support includes:
- Creating strategies to guide Black students toward graduation, focusing on pathways to post-secondary opportunities.
- Developing individualized student-success plans.
- Engaging Black students by affirming the diversity of identities, cultures, and experiences.
- Addressing individual and systemic barriers that impact learning experiences and prevent students from accessing vital opportunities, resources, and services.
- Building connections with community agencies that provide culturally relevant supports and services.
