The basic skills teaching approach is highly individualized and the student’s knowledge is continually assessed in a competency based model.  Each lesson is planned by the coordinator, tutor, and student to maximize his/her emerging knowledge or skill in a particular subject.  This method helps students become their own teacher as well as gain insight into encouraging their children’s learning at an appropriate level.

Samaritan is sensitive to the rapidly changing society which requires the focus on learning to shift from the simple acquisition of facts to the synthesis and application of concepts.  Our goal is designed to equip children with knowledge and tools that transcend time and enhance self-sufficiency.  This program will encompass the areas of education and personal development.  The approach will be holistic in that it will aim to enhance the physical, emotional, and spiritual attributes of each participant by providing workshops and seminars that address current issues faced by today’s youth.

Children's Tutorial has provided the Milwaukee community with an after school homework module since September 1986. The tutorial program currently serves 80 + students weekly.  The primary goal of Children’s Tutorial is to teach children critical thinking and computer literacy skills.  It has adopted this program goal because it is consistent with the Milwaukee Public Schools’ K-12 Teaching and Learning Initiative.  Our objective in advancing this goal is to be supportive of the direction professional educators in our community has set with respect to computer-based education.  Children’s Tutorial offers students access to computers and provides introductory learning skills needed to use them.

This program is designed to meet the physical and emotional needs of single parents, low-income families, and persons who have had little to no previous work experience.  The focus of training will be in the areas of home economics, money management, job preparedness, and parenting methodologies.

Lack of a valid driver’s license is a significant impediment for many individuals to employment and education. A valid driver’s license is a valuable asset to those persons seeking to obtain and maintain employment and to those seeking to access educational resources. The possession of a valid license also reduces the consequences associated with traffic stops by law enforcement. Thus, Milwaukee Municipal Court Judges Valarie Hill, Derek Mosley, & Phillip Chavez have agreed to partner with Samaritan Project, Inc. to assist individuals in the attainment of a valid Wisconsin driver’s license.

Samaritan Project, Inc., board members distributes application forms to CTK members and to the community at large (through member referrals) that are collected once a month and forwarded at the end of every month to Judge Valarie Hill at Milwaukee Municipal Court. Municipal Court Judges reviews the information provided that enables them to review individuals’ driving records and open cases with the Milwaukee Municipal Court. The judge will send correspondence to these individuals outlining the steps needed for attainment of a valid driver’s license. The correspondence will also advise the individual if they have any outstanding cases with the Municipal Court and what steps are needed to resolve these issues. Currently, the Driver’s License Recovery Program has assisted over 95 individuals. There are no income limitations for participants in this project. This is an ongoing project.

This program was created to assist individuals who lacked basic computer skills and did not have any avenue to acquire them. These classes were designed to equip individuals with the necessary skills that would help them better prepare for today’s job market and have fun doing it. The 12 week sessions provided the following lessons: introduction to Windows XP, working with Microsoft Office 2003, browsing the Internet, working with Email, Social Networking sites, and basic computer security. The sessions also provided a look at how to do some trouble shooting when things go wrong, how to find free utilities on the Internet, and even work with digital photos. As a bonus, the participants receive a USB thumb drive containing several free utilities to help them continue learning.

These classes began on October 22, 2009 at 6:30 PM to 8:00 PM and will be completed on January 21, 2010. The classes are held in the Computer Lab located in the lower level of the CTK Development, Quality of Life Center, located at 7798 North 60th Street. Twenty-two persons have benefited thus far from the computer classes.

This initiative is being provided by Human Resource Professionals who are members of Christ The King Baptist Church, an employee of Veterans Hospital, and a retired State of Wisconsin counselor.

The seminars will encompass resume writing, interviewing tips, networking skills, and how to apply for jobs. The first seminar was held on Martin Luther King’s Day, Monday, January 18, 2010. Approximately 30 people attended this seminar.

Samaritan Project’s Quality of Life Program has partnered with CTK Credit Union to market their “Payday Loan Repair Program” to Milwaukee low to moderate communities. The Payday Repair Loan Program helps those who have become entrapped in the payday loan cycle by offering them alternate products. The loan products have reasonable interest rates and longer terms, both of these components allow people to plan and budget. These products are combined with debt/credit counseling to help people become aware of the importance of managing the finances that they have. Additional funding is being solicited to provide funds for this particular program.
