Welcome to It Takes a 'Hood. We are an organization that believes in the power of community. Communities have the power to bring change through activism, help and care for others through charity and provide wisdom and guidance so that the youngest members of the community have a chance to achieve their dreams and carry on the ideals and principals of community and helping others.
Helping the most needy through charity is one of the best ways to directly help others. Our charity component is called Charity Driven.
Through Charity Driven, we coordinate monthly charity drives. Each monthly drive has its own objective and goal that sets out to help others in different ways throughout the year.
Ready, Step Go! was developed to help educate parents, guardians and families of preschoolers in high risk communities.
These communities need support to help develop young children's foundational literacy and math skills.
Our goal is to have every child academically ready to begin elementary school by providing rich and meaningful educational materials, resources and experiences.
