National Coalition of Black Women: Our Programs
Overview: We are leading the charge with programs that are proving they can make a real difference in the lives of young Afircan-American women. The Coalition's programs are focused on four core areas.
Teen Mentoring:The "Teens on the Move" Program assists young women in reaching their full potential through self-esteem enhancing activities including tutoring, supplemental education and behavioral support workshops
EDUCATION: The Coalition's growing scholarship program provides financial assistance to deserving students who want to further their education at historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs).
HEALTH:The Coalition conducts community health fairs, promotes health screenings and distributes materials to the public. The goal is to raise awareness about illnesses that disproportionately affect the African-American community.
Economic Development :Through its Adopt-A-Shelter Program, the Coaltion supports African-American women at the Achor Center, which provides a stable home environment for homeless women, often with children, who are in transition.
Partners:The National Coalition of 100 Black Women, Inc. Metropolitan Atlanta Chapter, is proud to support IBM's Global Entrepreneurship Week. "As an advocacy organization focusing on health, education and economic development, this is a great opportunity for our members to learn and explore entrepreneurship," says President Cynthia Williams.
