We are an independent nonprofit providing translation, navigation, youth education, food access, and community support to families building new lives in our community.
DeKalb Public Services Corporation was founded to fill a gap that too many families in our community knew too well — needing help but having nowhere consistent to go. We work with low-income families, immigrants, refugees, and anyone in our area who is navigating a system that was not built with them in mind.
Our funding comes from donors and grants. Our accountability is to the people we serve.
Each program addresses a real gap — direct support for families who need it, without bureaucracy or barriers.
We connect families to hospitals, schools, courts, and social services — in their own language. No one should miss critical support because of a language barrier. We serve as interpreters, advocates, and guides.

Our impact grows every day — full data coming soon.
We know not everyone can make it to an in-person class — life is busy. That is why DPS offers free eCourses you can take from home, on your phone, or whenever you have a moment. Right now you can take Money Mindset and Social Media Safety, with more courses on the way — all designed for real people, in plain language.
