When Florida Tech recently awarded Lynn Brockwell-Carey the Reverend Harvey L. Riley Bridge Builder Award for community activism and improvement, it was a kudos well deserved for the executive director of the Brevard Neighborhood Development Coalition (BNDC).

Brockwell-Carey's faith-based nonprofit has been instrumental in turning the tide of the Booker T. Washington neighborhood in Melbourne, one of South Brevard's poorest communities and an area once plagued by drugs and crime.

BNDC operates the Dorcas Outreach Center for Kids (DOCK) drop-in center for the neighborhood kids and also runs Greater Heights, an affordable apartment community across from the DOCK.
