Blacksonville seeks national partners for new urban development initiative
In the next year to two years we envision the creation of major community assets that will benefit the entire First Coast community. The concept of the Intercultural Advance Learning Center & Cyber Cafe is one of many assets that will provide youth programs that serve as critical instruments for high levels of socialization and achievement, with alternative curriculum in an advance career-oriented environment. We will offer year round trainng, public forums, course work, lectures and training that include Digital Media, Urban Debate, Life Skills, Professional Development, and New Media/Entrepreneurial workshops. We also seek to engage community health professionals in the instruction of Nutritional Childcare and Healthy Advocacy/Natural Foods.
The Vision expands into the development of a “New Media Incubator” to help non-profits and sister businesses, respectively, to train AND hire graduate participants of our “Rights of Passage Initiative”; these new leaders will enter the next phase of entrepreneurship and small business enterprise right within the heart of the local community. A strong inter-connected support system will lay a foundation for the community hub with spiritual, health and financial literacy.
