Who it’s for

A Learning Space for Community Builders

DCTribe is designed for people who are already serving their communities and want to strengthen how they communicate, collaborate and share their work.

Churches & Faith Groups

Pastors, media teams, worship leaders, youth leaders and volunteers supporting digital outreach.

Charities & CICs

Small teams and founders who need simple, sustainable ways to share their impact and reach the right people.

Community Workers & Creatives

Youth workers, community organisers, volunteers and storytellers who want practical skills, not jargon.

            DCTribe focuses on accessible, step-by-step learning – with tools and methods you can actually use in real community settings.

How DCTribe Connects with the Other Platforms

DCTribe is not just a classroom. It is plugged directly into iCare, DCRadio Directory, DCRadio Hub and DCTV.

iCare stories

Learning from real 5Why journeys

DCTribe uses iCare stories as real-world material for:

Understanding how to shape a narrative.
Practicing interviews and talking-head recordings.
Reflecting on impact, sacrifice and calling.

Apps in action

Directory & Radio as live examples
