Some of our Community Programs
To date, the Foundation has executed many community programs, the majority of which were supported by grants. As part of the focus on youth we sponsored a program entitled, “Healthy Kid, Balancing Your Life” where children were introduced to healthy snacks, productive exercises and activities and nutritional information. The grant funds for this activity were secured from the Community Foundation of Southeastern Michigan.
We also provided a ‘training for trainers’ where identified community leaders were given information to share with their constituencies regarding the epidemic of HIV/AIDS that has greatly impacted the Detroit community. These leaders were instructed to share the information they were given and have their members return cards that indicated the number of additional individuals they trained. The goal was to reach and teach as many as possible with life saving information.
In addition an all day workshop for churches and faith-based organizations was held at Wayne County Community College District, Westside Campus, to instruct the organizations on the process to secure money for AIDS education in their respective churches and sites.
