Friends of North Rosenberg

Friends of North Rosenberg is a location of Attack Poverty. Our mission is to strengthen under-resourced communities, such as the North Rosenberg area, through spiritual growth, education, revitalization, and basic needs. We are making a long-term commitment to this area that requires collaborative efforts with churches, local organizations, residents, and stakeholders committed to community transformation.

Our work is HOLISTIC. We understand the connections between: a decent place to live, a living wage job, spiritual health, quality education, child care, healthy families, basic and financial literacy, and access to health care for sustainability. The driving force behind all this is EMPOWERMENT. We are all about giving people tools to help themselves break out of the cycle of generational poverty. It's about DEVELOPMENT, not charity; DIGNITY, not shame. Believing all humans are created in the image of God, we will always promote the dignity and worth of people and families.

Our current community-based programs include:

• In School Student Support | partnering with Jackson Elementary through volunteering
• You Can Academy | a state-licensed after-school program providing a safe environment for youth to develop academically, socially, & spiritually
• GED Prep | support for individuals that seek to earn their GED certificate
