MLKSRCRC VISTA Governance Associate

The Martin Luther King Sr. Community Resources Collaborative (‘the Collaborative’), a vision of the Ebenezer Baptist Church Board of Trustees, helps struggling families in our metro-Atlanta community to build better lives by providing comprehensive, networked, integrated, and empathetic social support resources at a single accessible location. The MLKSRCRC uses a bold and ambitious model to change how community services are rendered to families living in poverty. We have created a one-stop-shop resources complex with local, state and national government and social service organizations with a focus on stability and self-sufficiency through 5 overlapping lenses: family stability, emotional well-being, educational achievement, financial stability, and employment. The Collaborative works to address and develop solutions to creating economic opportunities by providing training for economic self-sufficiency through education, life skills training and dedicated life coaching. Our goal is to remove traditional barriers to success and continue to develop an even stronger network of supportive services. The Collaborative will strengthen the community by providing the services needed in a manner to meet the needs of its target population.
