Education & Children

A strong academic program is a necessity to
encourage a love-for-learning outlook among our young ones. BCFI
wants children and families to see learning as a life-long
avocation. Learning together as a family strengthens relationships
and leads to stronger, more successful students. Through the years,
BCFI programs have enriched the lives of thousands of
Greater-Lansing children and families of all races and cultures,
helping them to achieve academic, vocational, cultural, and social
success. BCFI is an effective and diverse organization that serves
the entire community offering hope and assistance to children and
their families in a courteous and caring environment. |

tobacco and other drug use and violence among African American youth. Fifteen
students will be enrolled in each of three 15-week seesions. Participants will
receive a $5.00 per hour stipend for much of the time spent in the program.
They'll learn how to recognize and resist mass media messages that promote
harmful products and behaviors. They'll also be taught the skills needed to
