  • Sports and Recreation
  • Family Support Services such as food, shelter and clothing; adult education; career development; job placement assistance; and preventive medical checks.
The Benefits

  2. A replicable program that simultaneously addresses the educational, social and spiritual needs of urban youth and their families in a coordinated way.
  3. Improved coordination of services, identified gaps in programs and better use of community resources.
  4. Better-equipped urban churches assuming greater leadership for addressing major needs in the urban community.
  5. The mobilization of institutions already existing in every community in America for long-term measurable change.
  6. A strong moral and spiritual foundation upon which better choices are made resulting in stronger family structures; improved academic performance of young- sters; and a decrease in substance abuse, gang activity, and sexual promiscuity.
