INTERNATIONAL CHRISTIAN AND COMMUNITY NETWORK, INC.
ABOUT I CAN Ministry, Inc.
Seeing the struggles of many families in the Philadelphia community has empowered the I Can Ministry, Inc. to make a difference. It is our desire to help families we see struggling with limited resources, little to no education assistance, minimal income, and neighborhoods plagued with crime. We recognize that these individuals and communities need strategic help that involves specialized programs. We believe that our organization can serve as that beacon of hope!
Our desire is to effect change by increasing literacy levels, helping to decrease crime rates, and providing resources that increase employment as well as graduation rates of high school and college students. We recognize that our youth, young adults and parents need help with their education and economic development.
We also recognize that many of our youth lack the adequate social skills that will make them productive citizens in society. Furthermore, we also recognize that many of our youth and adults lack spiritual guidance as well. Thereby through workshops, seminars, and various programs we believe we can have a positive impact on these communities, in these specific areas.
We understand that the youth in these communities need general guidance and life skills. Therefore we plan on pairing youth with mentors who will work with them and teach them the skills they will need in order to be productive citizens. We also understand that many in our community need spiritual guidance. Thus in our partnership with local churches we plan on impacting our community spiritually; through prayer services and biblical instruction. Furthermore, we understand that many of our youth and adults need educational assistance. Therefore we will provide tutoring assistance and GED courses for those who need help in their educational development, as well as for those who desire to obtain their GED. We also understand that many in the community lack economic power. Thus, we also provide workshops teaching individuals “how to start a business” as well ‘how to invest in real estate”. Our desire is simple – to see our communities better.
We truly believe that as our communities become empowered both educationally, economically, and spiritually; crime will decrease, and individuals will be more productive. However, as long as our communities lack adequate assistance and these issues go unaddressed, our families and communities will continue to fail. This is why I Can Ministry, Inc. has been developed and this why we are dedicated to addressing these issues and making a difference in our communities.
