Community Network Council develops youth, primarily young men of color,
by collaborating with the school district through academic coaching and
mentoring. The goal is to start engaging with them at a young age and work
with them throughout matriculation through school. They also work with the
parents to ensure the children progress accordingly. Next phase is education
on cultural identity.
Community Network is in need of mentors and volunteers to support the
mission as well as school supplies.
