Mentoring Program

It is the mission of 4Ward Community Development Corporation to
provide a variety of programs to mentor to the adolescent boys and
girls. The goal is to start with the boys in developing a sense of
responsibility for growing into adulthood and ultimately becoming
good fathers. Our observation has shown that there are many homes
with absentee fathers. This program will include activities that strive to
improve the relationship with fathers who may not be in the home but
desire and need to maintain a relationship with the children. We plan
to facilitate open communication between the parents, with a strong
focus on the father’s involvement which is a vital part of this program.
The boys will be involved in programs with mentors can guide them
through the development process who are successful and can be
examples for the youth to follow. Activities will be planned and
implemented that will provide social, educational, leadership and
core values improvements. The mentors and boys will interact and
discuss current issues of concern or issues that require intervention and
positive inputs. The ultimate goal will be to train adolescence boys to
become good persons, fathers and responsible citizens.

Homeless and Disaster Assistance

Our goal for adolescent girls is to provide mentoring programs that will
teach the core values of womanhood while developing the positive
characteristics of women. We will provide programs that encourage
women to embrace their womanhood and educate them on various
health, and social issues that affect women. The girls will interact with
menors who have demonstrated wisdom, success, personal and
financial independence, and awareness of the myriad situations young
girls face today. In today’s society many girls go through many life
experiences at an early age. Our goal is to implement programs that
promote alternatives to premature sexual involvement as well as teach
girls to be comfortable in heir own skin and love themselves. Our goal
will be to train girls to be successful and outstanding citizens in the
community.
