Neh. 2:17-18

Organization Goal

“I have come to the knowledge that we must get to the root of the problem and not just continue to attack the surface. Providing a temporary fix.

We must teach our youth and young adults how to become self-sufficient, productive citizens for the

advancement of our society”.

In other words, ‘ We need to teach individuals how to fish,

instead of just feeding them for a day ’.

• Our Academic Enrichment camp focuses on supplementing what our youth learn on a daily basis in the school system. We provide enrichment in math, reading comprehension and spelling via computer-aided software which assess and keeps track of their progress. Homework help and tutors are also available. Our goal is to enhance students’ overall Grade Point Average and End of Grade scores. Also, to instill good study habits that will increase students’ aptitude and improve their scholastic abilities.

After School Academic Enrichment

Robotic Exploration Summer CampS.T.E.M.

• Our Robotic Exploration camp expose youth to the technology, robotics and engineering fields. Students learn about computer and electronic components, polarity, circuit board, gears, etc. Youth assemble a robot from scratch. This enriching activity creates awareness in the technology field while promoting engineering and technical ability.  Scientific process, observation and evaluation are also covered during the camp through our S.T.E.M.-based activities. We have an extreme emphasis on math where we provide tutoring for those who are having difficulty at their current grade level. We offer challenging math activities for our more advanced students to increase their current skill set.

TRANSITIONAL HOUSING

NEHEMIAH CEC

• The purpose of Damascus House is to temporarily house men who are homeless, in transition or at a disadvantage due to personal mistakes made and/or situations beyond their control. It is the mission and goal of Damascus “to empower and inform men back to the ability that they were born with: as the image of God; to develop back to a man of standard, and reshape their minds and character back to great men of valor.

• Ultimately, it is our goal to welcome home the Renaissance man. Men will learn a trade, perfect a trade and promote themselves to work and establish themselves as productive men in the community. It is our hope and goal that this program will change the mindset, the heart and soul of the WHOLE man.
