The
Phoenix Component, is a non-profit
organization that is determine to make a
positive difference in the lives of the poor
and truly disadvantaged of our society.
We have defined urban youth as: Blacks,
Asians, Hispanics, Appalachian Whites and
Urban Whites.
We
will address the social, economic and
educational needs of families and youth who
have fallen through the cracks of “The
American Dream” promise.
Our clients have been denied and
polarized from the basic skills necessary for
not only their survival, but more importantly
their future progress.
The
Phoenix Component outreach and enrichment
programs are purposely targeted for Cleveland
and Northeast Ohio, which has been labeled the
most segregated and impoverished region in
America. Its
educational system has also been labeled as
one of the worst in the country.
The
solution for the resolution of this baggage,
can only be resolved by a collaboration and
partnering of the various resources of the
area. Key
institutions and agencies in the area, will
offer us an already established foot-hole in
the community that we dare to serve.
We are not trying to reinvent the
wheel, the programs that we offer have all
been tried before in some form or another.
Our difference is the unusual mix of
institutions and agencies that we use to
support our endeavors.
The
focus for us will be to establish coalitions
and partnerships with key multi-cultural and
multi-racial institutions, agencies and groups
with similar social, economic, educational and
political strategies and ambitions.
With the fundamental theme of
supporting, helping and improving the overall
well-being of families through education and
the teaching of hard work.
