THE POWER OF COMMUNITY YOUTH ENGAGEMENT
The mission of the Jerome McFadden Educational Center is to provide youth-centered, intergenerational, evidence-based developmental and social justice solutions to children, providing them the opportunity to equip their communities with the tools to operate independently, through African-centered educational strategies, applied behavior analysis, and collaboration of all stakeholders.
