It is the desire of Empower A Child to serve and empower God’s children and their families. Our goal is to provide tools to help improve low achieving youth by providing empowerment to parents and teachers who empower them. Our objective is to provide consulting services to agencies whose clients are at-risk children living in high risk areas. We are in the business of creating tools that bridge the gap between parents and teachers. We provide parenting workshops and professional development for teachers. We develop innovative curriculum specifically suited to the particular needs of our clients.
We provide support for teachers bogged down with too much red tape, parents faced with the challenge of at-risk youngsters, and administrators seeking innovative programs to enhance student learning. We focus on ideas, concepts, products, and services that will empower the whole child. We help strength the partnership between parents and teachers. We stress spirituality, health & wellness, team work, as well as academic excellence. We understand that in order to empower the whole-child, a focus on the family is necessary.
As our way of “gleaning the field”, we send simple slide in shoes, chalk, crayons, pens, pencils, markers, and colored pencils to children living in Haiti.
