Our Girls Summer Charm Camp was created in January of 2004 to teach young females who primarily attend Metro Nashville public schools, ages four (4) to seventeen (17), to become tomorrow's young ladies. Our primary mission and purpose is to teach etiquette, self worth and esteem, character building, abstinence and many other activities involving basic social and life skills, primarily for the benefit of improving family unity and academics. It is an eight-week structured program that is supervised by Metro school teachers, college students and assisted by high school students.

The program is open daily, Monday thru Friday, from 7:00 am to 6:00pm and during that time we provide a nutritious breakfast, lunch and evening snack.

Men of Honour Boys Summer Camp (MOH) is our summer program for young males which also provides the same activities that we teach our young ladies. At MOH, young males ages four (4) to seventeen (17) learn manners, team building, character building and basic survival skills. This camp opened June 1, 2008, and is also located at 1026 Cheatham Place Nashville, TN. Our purpose is to build integrity, health and character. At MOH we challenge our campers in many ways through mentoring, building lasting relationships, athletics, and academic enrichment activities. Since opening MOH, we have provided services to over 500 boys that live in the 37207 and 37208 zip codes. This summer we plan to partner with other local camps and compete in various activities to include basketball, soccer, ping-pong tournaments and football. Also, as a part of our community services, the boys voted this year to collect gifts again and present them to the boys that live at the Family Life Center located on Rosa Parks Blvd..

CEO/Executive Director/Board Comments

For over thirteen (13) years we have worked with Nashville inner city youth and I have observed while working with our children that it appears more of them are being diagnosed with mental health and behavior problems. In order to accommodate them we continue to partner with TN Voices for Children, Mental Health Co-op and Regional Intervention Program (RIP) . These wonderful agencies have assisted our staff and parents through providing services and/or workshops which have helped us to overcome many of the barriers and issues we continue to face. Today with ongoing training and workshops we are able to continue our mission to empower inner city youth by providing them with the academic competencies, social skills and leadership training required to create a positive change in their lives.
