Strategic Community Impact Through Enhanced Youth Programming
We believe in nurturing the potential within our community through dynamic and meaningful programs. Each initiative we embark on is designed to empower, educate, and unite our members while positively impacting the broader community.
Community Growth Goals
2025 Strategic Plan
Our primary objective is to establish a robust mentoring program tailored for young individuals aged 11 to 18, with the hope of positively influencing over 500 youths each year. In pursuit of providing substantial support for our initiatives, we aim to raise $150,000 between August 2024 and August 2025. Recognizing the importance of holistic well-being, we are dedicated to enhancing health and wellness, including mental health services, for youths and families in Newton and Rockdale Counties. Moreover, we aspire to become the leading entity in both referring and training teenagers for employment and college readiness within these counties, setting a strong precedent for community engagement and support.
