Dickerson Center for Civic Responsibility (DCCR) is a nonprofit organization that perpetuates the legacy of the Reverend and Mrs. H. L. Dickerson and promotes the values they embody as committed community servant leaders. For 13 years, DCCR has provided service learning, mentoring, and hands-on engagement opportunities for students in K-12 and college. The nonprofit has been instrumental in laying the foundation for hundreds of students to understand the critical role they, as American citizens, can play through civic engagement. We provide a unique cultural and historical perspective leading to youth empowerment and advocacy, which results in a transformative democratic experience that results in voting.
Our Mission:
- To educate, empower and motivate the next generation of servant leaders.
- Provide youth with authentic and transformative democratic experiences.
- Provide youth with skills and knowledge to be effective citizens.
Investing in Dickerson Center not only makes a real impact on youth now, but also seeds a generation of thoughtful, engaged, ethical citizens and community leaders for the future in Southwest Dallas County and beyond.
