The Challenge

We recognize that today’s urban families face an increasingly difficult struggle to survive and thrive amidst a myriad of social and economic problems.  These social and economic realities have potential implications that we cannot afford to ignore.  There are disturbing increases in the incidence of family stress and crises (i.e. single parenting, parental unemployment, and underemployment, insufficient childcare, drugs and alcohol abuses, parental incarceration, teen pregnancy, and violence).  The proportion of children who are undereducated, underachieving, and involved in criminal activities continues to grow at an alarming rate. 

No child has ever been—or will be turned away because of race, income, disability, or any other reason.  And, since volunteers will be available for each student, every child will have the opportunity to succeed and have a positive educational and social experience.

We have embarked upon an ambiguous youth outreach project. The project is to playa major role in helping to reduce the percentages of youth delinquency and gang involvement and increase overall academics in inner-city Charlotte. 

Our Vision

Is to help combat youth delinquency and child care issues was established to respond to academic and social needs of communities where 70% of children are from single parent households and/or families with one income. We will offer children a secure and safe environment while their parent's work, seek employment, or receive skill training. It is our desire to help the entire family progress and solidify their economic foundation, instilling self pride which translate into civic responsibility.               Page up

Evaluation and Assessment

We are committed to the integrity of Children In Crisis and the year-round programming that we provide. Therefore, at the end of each school year and once each quarter, we complete a professional programmatic evaluation involving mostly formative analysis through feedback provided by the children and families we serve. We also seek and receive feedback from the principals, teachers, counselors and others who are involved with our children so as to know better ways of serving their needs. However, we are willing to provide other documents and implore alternative methods of evaluation if necessary.
