NOT JUST A SCHOOL CRISIS BUT A COMMUNITY CRISIS
When a youth does not have the social skills or ability to graduate High School it affects everyone in the community – the child, the family, the businesses, the faith community, and the civic groups / community clubs. All parties suffer when a youth drops out of school, but all parties benefit when a youth can develop the social skills and discipline needed to graduate.
IAM4kids is a faith-based 501(C)3 not-for-profit organization that has successfully been able to unite the community (local churches, civic groups and community clubs) to work in conjunction with the school system since 1996. Our one-to-one mentoring program has been instrumental in assisting the school system in providing mentors for their at-risk students for over 21 years.
