ABOUT US

Social Concern Committee was formed in 1969 as an education action program tasked with the following:

• To involve and inform community residents of all local issues connected with community affairs

• To prepare community residents for school decentralization by sponsoring town hall meetings

• To develop leadership skills and inform other community residents, so that the community schools could be improved in cooperation with the parent association and local school boards

• To foster the development of education committees in civic organizations and block associations

• To work for the development of common aims and actions for effective programs for pre-schoolers, elementary and secondary schoolers, college eligibles, vocational-technical erollees and basic adult education.

​

​Today, the committee is charged with continuing the vision of its founder, the late Cynthia Jenkins, to serve the community's economic development, educational and health services needs.
