Barriers to Opportunity in Childersburg

  • Persistent Poverty

    Over 80%+ of Childersburg youth face economic hardship, including unstable housing & food insecurity

  • Educational Challenges

    Only 6-9% of students are proficient in math, 25-29% in reading (below state average).

  • No Place to Go

    Few after-school programs exist & there are no community spaces in Childersburg for students to go after school hours

  • Lack of Access to Internet

    41% of households do not have reliable broadband connections. Low digital literacy limits access to telehealth, education, and jobs, especially for seniors and veterans.

Our Solution:

The ALICE Community Center

The ALICE Community Center will bring a hub of economic and educational opportunity to Childersburg, Alabama and the surrounding region. ALICE will be a multi-building campus with programs to improve the lives of all residents.
