Empowering Families. Building the Community.
Our Vision
Our vision is a community where all children and families have access to quality education, healthcare, and opportunities for personal and economic advancement. Through our programs and initiatives, we aim to break the cycle of poverty and create a brighter future for generations to come.
Our Priorities
Supporting Children
We are dedicated to nurturing the next generation by providing essential support to children. Our programs are designed to enhance educational outcomes, foster personal growth, and build strong foundations for future success. We offer after-school tutoring, mentoring programs, and access to educational resources, ensuring that children have the tools and opportunities they need to thrive academically and develop essential life skills from birth to adulthood. By creating a safe and enriching environment, we aim to empower every child to reach their full potential.
Community Engagement
Community engagement is at the heart of our mission. We are committed to fostering a sense of belonging and cohesion through cultural events, arts programs, and community activities that unite people. Our events, such as neighborhood clean-ups, block parties, and cultural celebrations, are designed to build strong community bonds, promote civic responsibility, and celebrate the diverse cultural heritage of Greensboro. By creating opportunities for community members to interact and support each other, we aim to strengthen the social fabric of our community. We also prioritize regular feedback loops and participatory planning processes to ensure our activities align with community needs and aspirations.
Empowering Families
We believe that strong families are the cornerstone of a healthy community. Our initiatives are focused on providing parents and caregivers with the skills and resources necessary to achieve economic stability and independence. Through financial literacy workshops, job readiness training, and technology education, we equip families with the tools they need to secure stable employment and manage their finances effectively. Our "Pathways to Prosperity" program is a six-month financial boot camp designed to lay the foundation for a stable financial future. By empowering families, we strive to break the cycle of poverty and create sustainable opportunities for economic growth and success.
At Jay Mack Community Foundation, we are dedicated to serving all people in our community. Our programs and initiatives are designed to be inclusive, ensuring that everyone, regardless of background or circumstance, has access to the resources and support they need. We believe in the power of diversity, equity, and inclusion to drive meaningful change and build a stronger, more united community. Together, we are #GuilfordCountyStrong.
