Partnerships Advancing Community Enterprises Inc

Partnerships Advancing Community Enterprises, Inc., is a group of concerned citizens addressing chronic problems in the Westgate Shopping Center area.  This zip code, 31206, is a glaring example of the "Two Americas" theme. We wish to correct economic and educational shortcomings.   We work to reduce individual and structural barriers to advancement and economic achievement. Our goal is a vibrant community working together for  the  benefit of adults and children in pursuit of their dreams.

We offer small business classes for adults and teens; anti violence messages; digital training and training in the writing of apps. The first  five week long small business class was completed in August 2019. A second is planned to begin in Oct 2019 with a followup class for teens in Jan 2020.

Our anti-violence campaign starts on 30 August with a series of interviews with concerned  citizens, relatives of victims and clergy.  These interviews will run over several weeks on social  media used by youths.

There is not a single method, action or idea that will make everything "right". We will continue to assess our actions and results to continue the improvement in a broad based effort.
