Initiatives

Education

The Education Initiative is committed to promoting and implementing educational programs that are grounded in research based solutions to challenges faced in urban education settings. This initiative bridges the gap that exists in communities like West Charlotte, by melding educational theory with daily applications and real life situations. We will continue to build and maintain effective partnerships with public and private schools, institutions of higher learning, and community and faith based agencies to improve the educational opportunities within the community. 

Health

The Health Initiative is designed to strengthen the physical and mental health of individuals by heightening the awareness of conditions and diseases that adversely affect the community.  This initiative focuses on helping community members and local public health leaders to build critical skills, particularly in information management, nutrition assessment, and weight management; develop new tools for leaders to use in measuring and improving health concerns; and advocate for sustained attention to public health needs in the West Charlotte community.

Wealth

The wealth initiative is designed to develop individuals and families for debt elimination, debt management and financial independence. This initiative encompasses addressing wealth creation, wealth management, home ownership and other financial success strategies. It also focuses on developing new and small businesses through various strategic efforts including entrepreneur training and development and continued development, growth and expansion strategies for existing businesses and business owners.

Social Responsibility

The Social Responsibility Initiative is committed to seeking, finding, and providing opportunities for community members to advocate for the community. Our approach to social responsibility is rooted in civic involvement, volunteerism, activism, and youth development. By internalizing our responsibility to the community that we inhabit, we build trust in the community, value in the city, and strength through our partnerships. Our goal is to create life altering habits that transcend ethnicity, gender, and socioeconomics.
