Strategies to Elevate People DC (STEP DC) is a dedicated effort to lift and empower neighborhoods by linking community leaders and members with resources that meet their critical needs. Thank you for learning about us and consider joining our mission.
- STEP DC involves channeling the skills and resources of suburban churches, in partnership with city churches and faith-based ministry partners, to meet the critical needs of the inner-city community.
- There are 10 possible areas for STEP focus that impact the family: employment, education, social services, housing, medical needs, legal concerns, substance abuse, spiritual, recreation/culture, and the environment.
- STEP DC builds on the Generations Initiative in the Deanwood neighborhood of Ward 7 which provides a starting place for a renewed commitment to serve the inner-city community, especially with a coalition coming together in the area of family support and parenting.
