Mission Birmingham has the privilege of providing family services at Marks Village Housing Community Center. Our staff has more than 20 years of experience in working with low income families. There have been many programs implemented since gaining site control; one of them is a K-12 tutoring program which helps students daily afterschool. Ebony Pearls is another program that empowers and educates women on how to preserve their lives through knowledge of the danger of HIV. Teach First Parents Club is a program designed to show easy and fun ways to teach pre-school children at home. There are other programs designed specifically to equip young boys and girls with the life-skills that they need for success. On October 29th, a health fair was held and area physicians agreed to donate their time and resources to assess some of the health needs in the community. Over 450 individuals attended making this a huge success. 2012 will bring many opportunities including our jobs training program.
