PREPARE OUR CHILDREN

Education & Youth Development

Do my part…


1.  Parents: Know what’s happening at school. Get involved.
          Attend Parent/Teacher conferences and volunteer at school.
          Read to children and have children read to you every day.
          Use available people and resources for help:
                Ex: Library, Family, Tutors, Churches, etc.


2.  Community: Get involved. Go to the classrooms.
          Volunteer to read to, tutor, and mentor kids. Encourage ACT preparation/practice.
          Attend board meetings and school functions.


3.  Youth Development: Provide more opportunities and positive experiences for our
     youth.  Employment, internships, vocational training, scholarships, etc.


Support leaders and assist them with making changes necessary to help improve the education of African-American children. (ex: Pushing for more funding for schools)
