Have you ever needed to find answers about a local service or resource and not known where or how to find them? If your answer is yes, you are not alone. Many people have found themselves in that same predicament. Unfortunately, what you don't know can hurt you. For that reason, Proverbs 4:7 advises people to "get understanding." Basically, that's the inspiration for this forum. The Birmingham Community Hub has been created to help people find legitimate answers in a busy, fast-paced world. In a world where people are often bombarded with excess, this hub will hopefully allow it's users to trim the fat frequently associated with surfing the net and get right to the heart of matters with little distraction about fashion, gossip, or entertainment. Prayerfully, this will be an interactive forum where users can locate and exchange info in a faith-filled inspirational environment. With that being said, please review and adhere to the following community guidelines:

1. We should help others do what is right and build them up in the Lord. Romans 15:2 (NLT)

2. Don't use foul or abusive language. Let everything you say be good and helpful, so that your words will be an encouragement to those who hear them.
Ephesians 4:29 (NLT)

Scholarship program aimed at Alabama students who are often overlooked for financial assistance


WETUMPKA, Ala. (AP) - State Treasurer Young Boozer has announced a new state scholarship program that's aimed at Alabama students who are often overlooked for financial assistance.
Boozer said the new CollegeCounts Scholarship program is for Alabama students who make an ACT score of 26 or below, have a minimum grade point average of 2.75, and demonstrate financial need. It will provide a 1-time award of $4,000 for a student enrolling in a 4-year college and $2,000 for a student enrolling in a 2-year college. Eligible students may apply online from Jan. 2 through March 7 at: http://www.collegecountsalabama.com
Boozer expects up to $600,000 in scholarships in the first year. Money for the scholarships comes from administrative fees from Alabama's CollegeCounts 529 Fund and surplus funds from the Alabama Higher Education

Free commercial drivers license courses


JEFFERSON COUNTY, AL (WBRC)- If you think you would like to be a bus driver, you can get some job training in Jefferson County and it will not cost you a dime. Thanks to federal dollars, Jefferson County's workforce development is offering a training program so people can get their commercial driver's license.
Today, Jefferson County Commissioner Sandra Little Brown along with Perry Ward, the President of Lawson State, announced the program. It is a three week program offered at no cost to participants. After the completion of the course, people will have the chance to compete for jobs at School Transportation Solutions, which has contracts with area school systems, the transit authority and other bus lines.
Commissioner Brown sees this has an opportunity to increase the number of skilled workforce in the county.
"We are losing jobs here at Jefferson County. We are trying to grow jobs back in the economy so it can be a great impact," said Brown.
If you are eligible under the workforce guidelines, you can apply at the Jefferson County Economic Development Department or at Lawson State Community College. The first class is expecting about 15 and could grow after that.

Free colorectal screening


Dear Community Servant,
 
The Bethesda Life Center was established to make wholeness (wellness) in spirit, mind and body accessible to the residents of Birmingham.  Our mission “for a healthy advantage” reflects that we  intend outcomes that reduce health disparities experienced by our community. One huge tool that we rely on for achieving our mission is advocacy. Making people aware of health resources is crucial for increasing the health of communities. Thus, we invite you and your civic or faith-based group to participate in an advocacy campaign.
 
Each year on the Sunday following Labor Day we acknowledge those people in our lives who helped raise us, filled us with sugary treat against our parents will, and are now older in age. This year, The Bethesda would like to extend a special opportunity for grandparents, 50-64 years old, to have a free colorectal screening. Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a silent killer in the African American community. Studies show that CRC “almost always develops from precancerous polyps (abnormal growth) in the colon or rectum.” If individuals receive annuals screenings for such, it is likely that this disease can be prevented by early detection and other preventative measures.
 
So how can you get involved, you may ask? Easy, just give your grandparent the attached greeting card that tells them how much you value them and their health. This greeting card will also serve as a voucher for a free CRC screening for qualifying grandparents.
 
Our advocacy campaign is also a great opportunity for youth to earn community service experience. For each youth who promotes this cause using the attached greeting card, The Bethesda will award him/her with four community service hours. If your youth would like to participate. Please email their name(s) along with the name  and address of your youth organization to onbiology@gmail.com with the subject line: CRC Advocate.
 
For more information on this advocacy campaign, or to confirm your participation, please contact The Bethesda Life Center at 205-788-2200. We hope that you will accept our invitation to participate and join us in an effort to prevent Colorectal Cancer from claiming another valuable grandparent.
 
Sincerely,
 
 
Arnisha F. Jordan
Community Outreach Intern
The Bethesda Life Center
