Fairfax / Central | Youth and Families
Charmaine Jordan is currently rebuilding an important organization for women known as “Women of Central.” The mission of “Women of Central” is to help improve the Central community by implementing youth development programs, increasing parent involvement, and mentoring young women of the neighborhood. Charmaine’s goal is to make a direct impact by actively recruiting mothers to join the Women of Central with the objective of providing reading tutors for the George Washington Carver and Alfred A. Benesh schools and mentoring girls at weekly group sessions. Charmaine also works as a volunteer for the “Men of Central” and assisted with their mentoring programs held throughout local schools and recreation centers in the Central Neighborhood. The “Women of Central” program is an extension of the “Men of Central” program.
