Mission

To revitalize depressed communities; planning, directing and coordinating a variety of services in the social, health, economic, educational, and spiritual development of families and communities; and assisting in the development of business opportunities for the underemployed and unemployed residents of distressed communities.

Causes

Programs

Intergenerational education; job creation; renovation of historic structures; construction of new community-oriented housing structures with porches fronting on green spaces; and creation of opportunities for intergenerational interaction, which will allow the elderly to mentor children and, in reverse, allow the youth in the community to enrich the lives of those older than them. With respect to job creation, the Organization intends to provide underemployed and unemployed individuals with employment opportunities, in particular educating such individuals about the ways in which e-commerce can provide a viable and sustainable marketplace to sell their wares over the internet. The Organization believes that revitalizing depressed communities will make them attractive to retirees and individuals from younger generations, which will have the long-term effect of keeping the communities alive and growing for years to come.
