Who We Are

We are committed to good family values and instill successful behaviors in our youth. We do not leave this to schools, daycare centers, or even church alone. Children are taught to be obedient to parents and adults and respect them. We teach them the principles of right and wrong, honesty, integrity, and morality from God's word. Through our After School program we also focus on developing and encouraging frequent reading habits and reading skills as well as one on one tutoring services. We consider it our privilege and responsibility to act as the stewards for meaningful resources for parents and caretakers of children; we wish to serve as humanitarians just as Miss Oseola McCarty who gave "unselfishly" to help others.

What We Do

After School Mentoring/Tutoring Program We provide free afterschool tutoring/mentoring services, monthly activities and Summer camp activities for underprivileged youth in K-12th grades. Our focus is to offer good, positive and character building activities for the youth. Our volunteer staff works diligently to assist us with the nurturing of these children. The Youth Center provides services to approximately 125 families and 200 children. Our target families profile is from low income, single parent and grandparent homes.
