YP at The Carver

09/11/2019

Here's a snapshot of YP at The Carver listening intently while Carver Board Member Mit Kirkland shared his insight about economic development and education. Mit expressed his excitement about this growing group and encouraged the members to keep looking forward.

We couldn't agree more with Mit. Our Young Professionals group works diligently to plan innovative and informative events for the public while simultaneously raising awareness and funds for the museum. We wouldn't be the same without their meaningful ideas and hard work. 💜

Interested in becoming a member? Reach out to us or YP @ The Carver and we'll tell you how!

Thank you Southeast Alabama Child Advocacy Center(CAC) for having the YP for a special tour of your facility! Our group had a chance to learn the impactful things this organization does in the community to protect our children. We also donated much needed snacks that will be enjoyed by every child that walks through the doors and teddy bears for their teddy bear wall that children get to take home.

We encourage the community to check out this organization and learn how you can also be an advocate for children! All it takes is being aware!!

***********************************************
Some facts we learned today:

*The CAC has been filling a critical and unique need in our community for 25 years. Children who have been abused or neglected receive time-sensitive coordinated services in a child friendly, safe atmosphere. Their agency serves four counties working along with our law enforcement, District Attorney’s offices and Department of Human Resources partners to create a unique team approach to ensure children receive the care and services they need in a timely manner.

*Last year, 526 children with new allegations of child abuse or neglect came through the doors of our local CAC.

*Last year, this CAC taught over 12,000 students in four counties about body safety.

*All services including therapy for the victims and their non-offending family members are free of charge!!

Sol/Tree is set to perform at the Soul Food Festival Soul Food Festival, and you won't want to miss it!

Sol/Tree is an eclectic group of vivacious and passionate performers bonded by the gift of music. They fuse various types and genres of musical styles and expressions to create a unique blend and delivery. During Winter 2014, they joined together as friends and performed to meet a need. From that spurred a demand along with endless opportunities. The sultry-sounding musical organization is perceived as a tree of soul, thus the name and play on words.
