support

Invest in a child’s life. A family’s journey. A community’s transformation.

Thank you for investing in the lives of our children and families!

It’s an investment in afterschool and summer programs that give children the chance to excel academically, and to find their footing socially and emotionally as they make their way to adulthood.

It’s an investment in workshops, support groups, and other important resources for parents who are working to create a better life for themselves and their families.

It’s an investment in Jackson. When the children and families living in the heart of our capital city are healthy and thriving, then all of us rise.
