Review for Children Are People, Inc., Gallatin, TN, USA
My name is Fred Bailey. I am the founder and Executive Director of Children Are People, Inc. I saw a need for an afterschool program for at-risk youth in Gallatin/Sumner County, TN -- a place for students to work on homework, get help with their studies, receive a nutritious meal and stay off the streets and out of trouble. Today, we serve 65 students in grades K-12. Our services are offered free of charge to the families that we serve. We could help more students but we are limited by the space in the building we occupy. Our organization is volunteer-based and we do not take any governmental funding -- federal, state or local. My formula for success is DESIRE + AMBITION + PERSISTENCE = WORK ETHIC.
More Feedback
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
the 100% graduation rate of our students; the 93% college enrollment of our graduates; the 0% pregnancies; the 0% juvenille records of our students.
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
become fully funded so we can hire instructors and build or occupy a facility large enough to acommodate more students.
