After viewing the 1986 TV documentary, The Vanishing Black Family, Christian Life Skills was developed to ameliorate systemic and other issues facing black families and youth. It has linkages with the Metro Urban Institute of Pittsburgh Theological Seminary, the Pittsburgh Pastoral Institute and other well established ministries in the city to achieve its mission through collaborative efforts more effectively. Volunteers are always needed for one hour per year or more to assist in maintaining the resource library, helping with mailings, special events, tutoring, mentoring, general clerical work, etc. Also, inviting the entrepreneurial program to attend bazaars will help the youth in our program. Drivers are also needed.
Speakers are available on a variety of subjects and to fill the pulpit.
