DCTMI is a non-profit organization founded in 2016 to unite people from all walks of life around a common goal: to connect caring adults with local kids so that they have the support they need to thrive, both academically and non-academically. DCTMI encourages a sense of collective agency and hope, working together across class, race, ideology, and neighborhood to make the world a better place… one child at a time.

The wait is over: La Coop will hold the grand opening of their 5th and Kennedy Street location on Friday, November 1st.
