Serving youth in grades K-12, our goal is to detect and provide intervention as early as possible on issues that will help to break defeating cycles and reach new goals. Utilizing a holistic approach to meeting the educational and individual needs of our Participants, we will collaborate with other community organizations, to link Participants and families to needed resources. Operating in a positive, structured space, Participant needs are met with positive, caring volunteers, who build trusting relationships with Participants by relating to youth culture, using encouraging communication and providing care along with support. Meaningful activities, intentional learning objectives, skill-building and critical thinking intents are supervised in the following areas: Math, Reading, Writing, Homework Help and Life Skills Training. Our Life Skills Training, component is very important, as it will provide Participants with age appropriate life skill applications that will help prepare them in becoming productive, self-sufficient individuals.

Building A Strong Platform Of Services & Connections
January 1, 2020
Because of your support and encouragement, ROBERT JAMISON MINISTRIES INC (RJM) is now a designated Metro United Way BLOC STAR Site! This means our program, staff and volunteers receive consistent training on building a strong foundation and teaches best practice techniques to staff.
During 2018-2019 RJM Partnered with New Directions Housing Corporation to offer youth and family who reside in New Directions program and services for their Shawnee Learning Center site. Because of the positive and proactive results, RJM was asked to be their own BLOC STAR Site. So we are now operating in 2 locations. Now that's progress but we could not have done so without our supporters and for that we say THANK YOU!
