Tutoring & Mentorship will mobilize the learning needs of Jackson's youth, particularly those living in low-income households, single-parent families and neighborhoods where violence and other factors not conducive for learning to exist. For Brown Girls, Inc. plans to partner with Boys & Girls Club of Central Mississippi and provide early interventions in the lives of disadvantaged youth who face learning challenges by supplying individual support, care and guidance that can help them achieve academic success. By cultivating trustworthy relationships, the tutor and/or mentor will serve as a medium for the child to receive the resources necessary for their physical, mental, emotional and spiritual growth.

For the eighth straight year, Mississippi has been identified as the most food insecure state in the country. Even though the federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and other similar programs help alleviate food insecurity in many communities, 30 percent of people struggling with hunger in Mississippi earn too much money to qualify for SNAP benefits. The Mississippi Food Network (MFN) has been feeding Mississippians since 1984.  Their vision is to eliminate poverty-related hunger in our service area.  Helping your local food bank is vital to the working poor in your community. Our goal is to partner with MFN and serve our service area by distributing donated and purchased food and grocery products to this agency.   

For Brown Girls, Inc. will be participating in year round community service assisting the Community Kitchen at Stewpot that cater to the homeless and less fortunate. True happiness comes from feeling grateful for what you have and being able to spread joy without expecting anything in return. Most of us spend a lifetime learning this. You can experience fulfillment in the truest sense by returning something to the community. Material wealth can always be earned, but enjoying a feeling of fulfillment and gratification is possible only when you do something for others. Stewpot Community Services is located in West Jackson. 

Jackson Public Schools understands that community involvement is a vital component for successful schools. It takes a village to raise a child. For Brown Girls, Inc. is a Partner in Education through The Adopt-a-School program which offers opportunities for support and encourage a specific school. As an adopter, we have a commitment of one year with a plan to be involved in several program areas such as charity, student achievement, student incentives, teacher appreciation, character development, career exploration, school improvements and community services.

PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT: We are very proud to announce that For Brown Girls, Inc. is apart of the initiative, Making Strides Against Breast Cancer of Central Mississippi. The American Cancer Society has an important mission – to free the world from the pain and suffering of breast cancer. For Brown Girls, Inc. was invited to participate and WE are honored.

The Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk is a powerful event that raises awareness and funds to end breast cancer. Every year, over one million people gather in communities across the country to celebrate survivors and remember lost loved ones.

With every dollar we raise, you help us fund innovative research, educate people about how to reduce their risk for breast cancer or detect it early, and simply provide a hand to hold. Because of your dedication, we can make sure that no one facing breast cancer has to walk alone. NEVER WALK ALONE; WALK WITH US. Join our team!
