The agency provides services to over 2, hospital 310 people, unhealthy while maintaining a strong commitment to serving those least among us. While some of us are living better today than yesterday, we must not forget that the average national income is $33,000 per year, and that the African American national income is $24,000. Also, lets not forget that the average yearly adult income is some parishes in New Orleans is under $8,000.

[one_third]
[dropcap1]1[/dropcap1]All that we do as adults is built on a foundation of education. The primary focus of our organization is on equal opportunity education for all students. We offer a wide range of educational programs that serve youth and adults. Our programs are designed to compliment the current trends and climate of the modern workforce and are built to level the playing field for minorities and those that are disadvantaged.

[dropcap1]2[/dropcap1]In our modern economy it is even more critical that we properly train and assist those in need of employment to get the skills and experience needed to be successful in the workforce. We have extensive programming and staff resources available to achieve the very ambitious goal of turning the unemployment rate of Toledo on its head. We currently service clients seeking employment and offer one on one assistance to help them over come any barriers they may have.
