Marnel C. Moorman Family Life Center

The Marnel C. Moorman Family Life Center began as a way to honor the work of Mr. Marnel Moorman. He spent his life advocating for children. He was an educator for Shelby County Public Schools. He was also the first African American President of KEA. Throughout his service he believed that "children are our most precious resource." It is on that belief that we serve youth today in our afterschool program. 

We are committed to the spiritual, social, physical, and economic development of individuals in this community. We strive to be a safe place where youth can socialize and discover their God-given talents in a non-threatening environment. We believe robust education, exposure to new opportunities, and holistic empowerment is the best pathway to positively impact the lives of the members of our community, especially the next generation. 

We focus on our 3 E’s: Education, Exposure, and Empowerment. These three things when given to youth can change their own personal circumstances and in turn the trajectory of their lives. 

MCM FLC serves youth during out of school time (afterschool, summer, non-school weekdays) with various recreational and academic focused activities. We offer Family programs and activities around the four components of Family Literacy: Parent Time, Child Time, Adult Education, PACT (Parent and Child Together) Time.
