Programs & Services
As a non profit organization our primary goal is to support the members in our community to independence e and self-sufficiency.
We focus on providing resources and services that empower individuals and families to improve their quality of life and achieve their goals. This includes job training, education, and health care support, and other support services.
Our aim is to help our community members break the cycle of poverty and build a brighter future for themselves and their families.
Culturally adapted services are designed to achieve the maximum results for the participants by taking into account the cultural background, values, and beliefs of the community.
The services are tailored to meet the specific needs and preferences of the English Speaking Black community, which increases participation and engagement, leading to better outcomes.
