"For longtime Coconut Grove residents, the Macedonia Missionary Baptist Church has been a safe haven in the community, established in 1895, evolving into a crucial educational resource for children struggling with academics."
"Parent and church volunteer Tashareaya Richards sought the church's help for her daughter Jelaine, knowing that the After School Tutoring and Enrichment Program was effective due to her own experience growing up."
"Richards shared her enthusiasm for the summer program, stating, 'I think the program gave her comfort because she is around people who want to motivate her,' highlighting the nurturing environment that encourages children to excel."
"The success of the summer and tutoring programs is why Macedonia Missionary Baptist Church is investing in building extra classroom space, demonstrating a commitment to furthering educational opportunities for students in the community."
