SuperMen for Christ, Inc.

SuperMen for Christ Reading and Writing Program is a summer academy for elementary and secondary students to spend two summer months (June-July) in structured activities focused on building their reading and writing skills. Certified teachers work with students after a pre-test to establish a baseline of students' grade level performance. Once identified, students are grouped based on academic needs and give intensive practice and one-on-one instruction to improve reading and writing. Athletic enrichment activities are part of the day begins at 8:00 am with a healthy breakfast. After four hours of intensive instruction a healthy lunch is served followed by athletic enrichment activities. As the day wounds down, teachers review the content studied to reinforce retention and guide next day planning. Towards the end of the program cycle a post-test is administered to determine student academic growth and achievement of program outcomes.

SuperMen for Christ After-School Tutoring is offered to students who attend inner-city schools that are under-performing and have received a "F" letter grade from the Louisiana Department of Education. With assistance from parents and teachers, students identified as "at risk" of falling behind are selected to participate in structured after-school tutoring for three days a week to help build academic skills in all subject areas. Partnering with the schools SFC transports students from school to the program site for intensive instruction, they are given a healthy snack before taken home. The program runs from October through April.

SFC Kingdom Men Mentoring program is designed to address the needs of male students from 4th-5th grade elementary, 6th-8th middle, and all grade levels for high school. Our focus is to build male children and youth into men by offering mentors that engage the boys with regular telephone contact, visits to the schools for lunch and spending time on weekends engaging in athletic activities. We teach proper hand shakes, team work, leadership, respect and other social skills. They are also taught about the negative affects of drugs, alcohol, tobacco use and HIV Awareness and protection. Towards the end of the program year participants are taken on out-of-town trips for extended educational experiences to visit national historic sites and attractions.

SuperMen for Christ Food Pantry evolved from the need to ensure the elderly and homeless receive a hot meal. What began as a weekly soup kitchen evolved into a food distribution initiative where families are able to receive a bag of grocery once a month. During holidays we designate specific locations and provide hot holiday meal throughout the community. As a partner with the Food Bank of Northwest Louisiana we are called in "emergency" or "crisis" situations to deliver food to families residing in the City of Shreveport as well as the outskirts and rural communities of Caddo Parish. The Food Bank does not deliver, thus we meet that need. We have a Food Pantry coordinator who mans the site five days a week so individuals and families can come to the site to get food when needed. Through support from partnering organizations the Food Pantry now distributes clothing for the entire family to those in need.
