ABOUT THE SAVE PROGRAM
Making Children Job Ready Instead of Jail Ready is a racial equity violence intervention and prevention initiative for two impoverished and marginalized communities of color in Mecklenburg County..
Specifically, we are looking to improve economic mobility in 2 key East and West Charlotte communities:
TIMBER RIDGE APARTMENTS and THOMASBORO respectively. Both areas are ridden with crime, drugs, violence and human trafficking.
For example: Thomasboro has a poor livability score of 54. [Ranked #149 neighborhood in Charlotte - i.e. Crime (F) Employment (F) and Schools (F)]) Empower Timber Ridge and Thomasboro children, teens, and parents - primarily people of color who aspire to be stakeholders, planners, and decision-makers in the systems that govern their lives through economic mobility..
ABOUT OUR DIRECTOR
It would be Jena Poston's dream to be able to provide free education that will give these communities of color the support and skills that will create a great foundation into providing social solutions. Jena is graduating from University of North Carolina at Charlotte with her marketing degree as well as a minor in communications this December.
As a first generation graduate, Jena understands the privilege of furthering one’s education. She really want to give a chance to at risk children and youth, as well as an opportunity that will help transform them into entrepreneurs. We will provide free transportation, school supplies, food and anything else these girls may need. This program will make a difference in the Mecklenburg community because it will give lower income families the support and exposure into a field that otherwise would not be easily accessible. We are asking for your help to make a difference in our youth and our community in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina.
