Kids are back to school – and back to DBG! As excited as we are to welcome them “home,” we equally excited for everyone moving into college, and onto trade school, military service and careers.

While our intention is to get every student to high school graduation, our impact centers on helping them understand who they are, what they care about and what they need to build a future that feels meaningful to them.

While these brilliant minds may not be in our daily programs anymore, they never truly leave.

To the Class of 2026: we're incredibly proud of you. To the Class of 2027 and beyond, here's to a new school year and all the different paths our young people will take to get where they're going.

Yesterday's tornado caused devastating damage around DBG, but we are incredibly grateful that our students, team and building are safe.

We are very proud of our team who responded quickly and calmly to keep everyone safe.

Our hearts are with our neighbors impacted by today's storm. Our community is resilient, and we're especially grateful for our DBG family in this time.

The DBG facility is currently without power, so we appreciate your patience as we work to get programming back up and running as soon as possible.

Fifteen students. One international destination. Countless moments of growth. And yes... all 14 made it home in one piece. ❤️🇯🇵

Last month, our students traveled to Japan after 5 months of preparation, for an experience that reached far beyond the classroom. They navigated unfamiliar places, built new relationships, embraced a different culture, and discovered what they're capable of when they step outside of what they know.

Experiences like these aren't vacations. They're opportunities to build adaptability, confidence, curiosity, and a broader understanding of the world...skills that stay with our students long after the flight home.

We couldn't be more proud of the way they represented DBG, supported one another, and embraced every opportunity to learn. The memories will last a lifetime, but the growth is only beginning. 💛

A new school year is just around the corner, and together we can help every DBG student start it prepared.

From backpacks and notebooks to calculators and pencils, the supplies inside a backpack can make all the difference on the first day of school. That's why we've created Amazon Wish Lists organized by grade level, making it easy to support our students.

Whether you purchase one item or several, every donation helps remove a barrier to learning and reminds our students that an entire community is behind them.

📅 Please donate by August 18 so we have time to pack every backpack before our Back to School Bash & Orientation.

🔗 Visit the link below to shop or donate.

Together, we can help every DBG student walk into the new school year feeling prepared, confident, and ready to learn.

Family dinner has never just been about the meal.

It's about slowing down, pulling up a chair, and making room for one another. At DBG, our Family Fellowship Dinners bring students, staff, and community together around food and conversation. Each dinner is led by a local chef who shares a meal rooted in their own story, reminding us that every recipe carries history, culture, and care.

Chef Booze never disappoints. But more than the food, it's the feeling that keeps us coming back.

Because growth doesn't only happen in classrooms or programs. Sometimes it happens around a table, one shared meal at a time. ❤️

A child can have incredible teachers. A child can have incredible mentors. But when families and educators are working together?

That's when transformation happens.

Our Parent Committee reminds us that youth development has never been a one-person job. It takes conversations at home. It takes trust. It takes showing up for meetings, events, and one another. These parents do all of that—and more.

They're not on the sidelines of their children's journeys. They're helping build the environment where every student has the chance to thrive.

Thank you to our Parent Committee for bringing your energy, your ideas, and your love for this community into everything you do. Interested in joining? DM us and we will tell you how!

We are better because you're here.
