We are excited to have Senan from Benin join us for the next six weeks. She is part of the Mandela Washington Fellowship for Young African Leaders. Senan was selected from thousands of applicants from Sub-Saharan Africa, of which 15 were selected from Benin to hone their skills at a U.S. college or university for six weeks. Two of the 15 were selected to stay for another six weeks for a professional development experience. All of the fellows are between the ages of 25 and 35. Fifty-one fellows identify as having a disability and 50 percent are women. Although she is looking to learn from us, I suspect we will learn so much more from her. Welcome Senan!

The more residents that get involved in their community, the better the City of Dayton will be.
The Human Relations Council offers opportunities for individuals and organizations to
make an impact and promote equality and harmony in Dayton, Ohio.
The Human Relations Council is responsible for the enforcement of anti-discrimination ordinances, as outlined in the City of Dayton’s Revised Code of General Ordinances. These ordinances protect our residents from discrimination in four areas: employment, housing, public accommodations, and credit transactions.
Through contract compliance, certification, and technical assistance, the Human Relations Council leads the City of Dayton’s efforts towards the development, inclusion and expansion of opportunities for small, local, minority-owned, women-owned, and small disadvantaged businesses.
The Human Relations Council strives to help create safe and inclusive communities for all residents by providing resources and outreach efforts that promote civil and human rights and facilitate harmonious relationships among Dayton’s diverse population. Initiatives include Welcome Dayton and community-police relations.
