SOUTHWEST GLEN MISSION

Southwest Glen Mission 501(C) 3 (SGM) serves low income, at-risk children, youth, and their families in multifamily communities where they live. Board members, certified teachers, university and Pre-Med students, retired engineers, clergy and community volunteers donate their time, talent, and resources to help implement the many programs offered. Their programs include academic/homework assistance, children/youth reading library, literacy classes, and hands-on STEAM projects to all school-age students in their apartment communities.

Youth serve in two roles: as youth facilitators and youth students
