Big Hands Helping Little Hearts is a nonprofit organization focused mainly on troubled and at-risk teenage boys and girls of the urban communities throughout Jackson, TN. We give them the hope that they need to help them succeed and never give up. We mentor, educate and teach the teens about crime, Black history, culture, health and well-being. We also have a natural herbalist that comes in once a week to educate and teach the teens and parents about Eating To Live.
We take troubled at-risk teens and push them down a different path. We also reach out to the parents in the Jackson communities and sit down one on one with the teen, and he or she tells us what they would like to accomplish in life and we help them work towards it. We teach the teens how to fill out applications and how to build resumes. We help them with employment, homework, etc. We also teach them how to become positive helpers with the elderly in their community.
Big Hands Helping Little Hearts are there for the teens whenever they call. We're the teens' Big Sisters and Big Brothers that some of them never had. Big Hands Helping Little Hearts donate clothing, book bags, toys, food and more to families throughout the city.
We also teach the teens about gangs, dangers of drugs and the possibility of jail time when crimes are committed. We have ex-felons that come in to talk to the teens about jail and prison once a week. We give each teen a simple quiz to make sure everything that they have been taught here at Big Hands Helping Little Hearts sticks in their brain.
This organization is fighting to stop "The School To Prison Pipeline". We want all teens to take what they have learned and apply it to everyday life. Big Hands Helping Little Hearts wants each teen to pass on what they have learned. "Each One Teach One"
