Generation One

Generaton One academy, a private christian school,focuses on early childhood development and parent training with classes for ages 2 through first grade. In addition to smaller classroom settings on-site, collaborations with local charter schools help provide more opportunities for long-term learning and success that is not generally possible in the schools in the 3rd ward, a high poverty area. The children also receive two meals and a snack each day. The parenting programs provide training for parents as well as opportunities for parents to participate in school activities, help in classrooms and become more involved in the life of their child.

The community revitalization, volunteer & outreach programs serve the community through the mobilization of volunteers who respond to needs such as painting homes, clearing lots & demolishing delapidated buildings.

The after school programs (live and mentoring) help provide a 12 month school year. This program also continues to meet the needs of the children who have graduated from the academy by providing transportaion to local charter schools. The program includes tutoring, mentoring, field trips, dance, scouting & music programs which helps keep the older children in a safe & positive learning environment. Parents are encouraged to volunteer and participate in training sessions that will help the family as a whole.
