Who We Are


We serve the under-resourced population of the greater Madison area with a primary focus on at-risk African American families. Nehemiah addresses the needs of the entire family by focusing on spiritual issues, economic needs and academic success. We inspire transformation by building meaningful relationships, providing coaching and mentoring, creating peer support groups and offering mediation and advocacy. In order to interrupt the cycle of poverty, racism, and discrimination that many families face, we concentrate on prevention, early intervention, education and restoration. We also collaborate with established leaders in our community and develop emerging urban leaders to transform our powerful vision into a meaningful reality.

Nehemiah would like to thank the Green Bay Packers Foundation for their generous support of the LIGHT College Tour.

Impact

Many volunteers in the LIGHT program came from challenging home situations. They are now serving high school students in similar circumstances as a way to give back. These are proving to be significant mentoring relationships.

It has been a rough season in the Allied Community with the death of several residents. Our Community Chaplain has the trust and relationships to help the residents in many spiritual and pragmatic ways.
