Biography from: http://nsceinc.org/NSCEINC.html National Society of Christian Educators, Inc. is committed to “equipping the people for the work of ministry” throughout each community, wherever we may be, by focusing on high-risk and troubled youth especially relating to youth and teen violence at schools, on playgrounds, in public places or wherever people are gathered. We (NSCE), seek to do whatever may be necessary or desirable, to assist high-risk and troubled youth who are on the streets with no one to comfort them, so that they may eventually achieve a place in society as productive and fulfilled adults. We (NSCE), seek to make a lasting impact on the lives of vulnerable, high-risk, and troubled youth, by partnering with local churches, sisterly organizations, community support groups, fraternities, governmental agencies and television personalities, creating a continuum of care with intervention programs and activities on multiple levels that are sustainable and measurable over time.
