I acted as a Mentor to the Albert T Mills Enrichment Center in Atlanta. The Center is a 501c3 non-profit preschool and an urban ministry serving pre-schoolers from Atlanta’s toughest neighborhoods.Pastor Rosa Arnold Colbert founded the Center in 1995 and has invested her life and all her resources to serve those pre-schoolers most at risk, going into these neighborhoods and finding the children who most need intervention and Christ-like love.The Center's goal is to enable and prepare children to start kindergarten among the best prepared in their class, giving them a strong beginning in school that will help them succeed throughout their years which will help them avoid the hopelessness, that can lead to destructive behavior.
