Currently, the Tabernacle Learning
Center is not in operation as we launch our capital campaign and endowment
fund-raising effort. This effort will provide funds for the building
of a new facility as well as an endowment fund for the ongoing operation of
the facility. When completed, the newly built
multi-purpose facility, at the corner of Eighth Street
and Division Avenue, will include an after-school tutorial
program for the children in the community. The program will provide
homework assistance, skills practice, and computer programs that
enhance reading, writing, math, and FCAT skills. The
children will again be exposed to lessons in etiquette, art,
self-esteem, and peacemaking skills. Field trips are also a part of
the children's Learning Center experience.
