The Greater Life of Fayetteville's purpose is to help children and families rise above their circumstances, to thrive academically, socially, emotionally, and behaviorally. Greater Life of Fayetteville’s programming includes mentoring, parent workshops, I AM YOU-NIQUE Summer Academy, Suspension Intervention, virtual learning, after-school programs, tutoring, and homework assignments. The program is free. The future of Greater Life of Fayetteville is to offer housing and life skills to young adults transitioning out of the foster care system. This vulnerable population too often falls through the cracks.
“She didn’t just raise me, she shaped my voice and courage, I carry into the world,” Pinkney said of the event. “The Just Us for Women: She Shaped Me honors the faith, sacrifice, strength, and love of mothers and mothers in action and practice (aunties, grandmothers, mentors).”
Celebrate the legacy of women of faith, sacrifice, courage, strength, and love at the Just Us for Women: She Shaped Me, on April 25. Bring something to share and show the younger generation or invite a young mother. Apparel is Sunday dress. Admission to the workshop is free.
