Role Models Foundation
The Role Models Foundation was established in December of 2004 to provide needed services and support to families and youth with social economical, educational, disciplinary, and emotional problems. Since the establishment of the Role Models Foundation, we have served many deserving youths and their families through a broad range of programs and services. This has been accomplished through a collaborative effort of support from dedicated staff members, volunteers, and community supporters.
The Role Models Foundation will continue to create partnerships that share the goals of the foundation to strengthen our neighborhoods and communities by assisting single parent families with the needed support that help them overcome the challenges of single parenting.
R.E.A.D.
Respect | Education | Attitude | Discipline
The R.E.A.D Intervention and Mentor Program was established to provide intervention and mentoring for At-Risk youth from single parent homes between the age of age 10-18. With this program it is our desire to strengthen our Neighborhoods, Schools, and Families, by empowering our youth through establishing respect for self and others, educating them about responsible adulthood and career aspirations, creating in them positive attitudes that impact change, and teaching them the value of having self-discipline and the importance of staying drug free.
