As we approach the halfway mark of our 100 Mentors in 100 Days campaign, we are excited to announce we are on pace to reach our goal. At this point, we have successfully recruited over 60 mentors for the upcoming school year. Through the success of this campaign we will be able to facilitate enough mentors for the 10 Birmingham City Schools we'll be in during the 2014-2015 school year.

Since President Obama's announced his initiative, My Brother's Keeper, support for organizations contributing to the success of young boys and men of color has increased substantially. Through such report, Boys and Men of Color, an executive alliance, has conducted research to pinpoint goals and objectives for such organizations to use as a focus for their work. This report outlines those goals and core strategies for improving the outcomes of all boys and men of color. 

In addition to traditional surveys for statewide assessment needs, the Children's Policy Council of Jefferson County will host a focus group centered around fathers of children with disabilities. If you, or someone you know, are interested in participating please contact,Tammy Moore, Parent Consultant, Children's Rehabilitation Service. Fathers will be compensated for their participation.
