CEO/Executive Director/Board Comments
| The founding philosophy for Children Are People, Inc., CAP, is that everyone is responsible for his/her own actions. CAP students are mentored, challenged, instructed and nurtured to adopt a work ethic commensurate with the lifestyle which they want to attain. Instead of making excuses based on their personal circumstances, the CAP students are taught the value of a good education and then shown the career and life possibilities that hard work and a good education can bring. The success of CAP is a summation of the success of each of its individual students. Programs sponsored by CAP are making elemental changes in the attitudes of its students and progress for each child is noticeable. The number of CAP students on the A/B honor rolls increases each term which is a reflection of the work ethic taught by the CAP instructors and adopted by the students. CAP and its young people are making progress, but there is much more to be accomplish and so many more children to help. In order to maximize the current efforts at CAP, there are needs which must be met. The most significant of these are: First, with only one and one half paid staff positions, additional paid staff members are much needed. The program currently has 72 students enrolled and an almost equally large waiting list. If CAP hopes to grow to meet the immediate community needs, more paid staff members are a must. Second, the current facility is not adequate to meet a growing enrollment. A new facility is needed for CAP to keep up with the growing list of referrals from the community and to enable it to more efficiently serve its students. Third, more facilities are needed. Although CAP is open to all at risk children in Sumner County, the size and location of the current facility in Gallatin can only accommodate the immediate Gallatin area. Additional CAP locations would better serve the entire community. |
