Our Pillars of Equity

Education

Healthcare Access

Healthcare Access

Youth are not only "the future," they are central to our community now. Supporting their curiosity has resulted in creating weekly activities for students and families at Roosevelt Elementary, along with making scholarship, internship, and camp opportunities available.

From access to COVID testing and clinical care, to ensuring families receive food and essential products, the Dayton Equity Center inventively provides these services because we believe strong communities require a foundation of wellness.

We recognize that stable and secure communities require networks of mutual aid. A number of partners enable us to feed over 50 families a week, provide access to essential hygiene items, and affordable clothing. As the Dayton chapter of the nonpartisan Ohio Unity Coalition, we ensure that Black voters find elections safe and accessible; we also empower community members to organize neighbors and advocate equitable treatment. 

Workforce Development

The dignity and interdependence that come with career opportunities embolden us to find pathways for people to broaden their skills.  The POWER Pathway is a training course designed especially for returning citizens. We also believe that learning is a lifelong discipline, which has motivated us to provide educational opportunities for people throughout life's stages.

Our Beginnings

From conversation amongst the Pastor of Mckinley United Methodist Church, Peter Edward Matthews, and three pillars of the church, John E. Moore, Sr., Raymond Hummons, Sr., and Lisa Turner came the Dayton Equity Center. Late nights and long days from January of 2017 led us to begin programming inspired by the legacy of John Moore Sr. We continue the legacy of Mr. Moore and many others by intentionally listening to the community and involving local partners to create opportunities for social mobility.
