The Nehemiah Center is described in many ways by the many people who are involved with us. To the parent who entrusts his/her child to us each day, it’s peace of mind and support; to the volunteer who helps strengthen a child's academic skills, it’s a blessing; to the donor, it’s a life-changing investment. For my staff, it’s not a job, but a calling to serve. I see the Nehemiah Center as a place of hope. My staff and I work hard to meet the needs of the children and their families. What makes us a unique organization, is our flexibility. We flex with the needs of the community and develop the necessary programs or services to meet the need. When Katrina hit, we helped the youngest victims with free services, and still do. Our focus is giving children an opportunity to experience the "abundant life." Education is the primary vehicle we use to accomplish that. However, we have come to understand that the success of a child's academic career rests heavily on the involvement of the parent. So, we invest resources, time, and effort in educating and equipping parents with the fundamentals necessary to navigate the educational system.
