Solutions with Rev Dr James R Gibbs Jr
National Society of Christian Educators, Inc.
Let me take a moment to tell you a little about who we are and what we're all about.
Originally, when I first gave birth to the idea of National Society of Christian Educators, it was to create a boiler room operation for local religious groups, societies, organizations and churches, to all come together, to form a society. To establish a fraternal organization, very much like the ABA for lawyers, AMA for doctors, NTA for teachers and the like. I wanted to create a legitimizing entity, whereby Directors and interested persons could meet at various locations (school auditoriums, church basements) etc., to organize and establish a common agenda. Thus, the five pillars emerged. We needed a basis for coming together and what better topics than: Drugs and the Community, School Campus Violence, Gangs and gang warfare, Teen Pregnancy and Homeless Children.

Biography from: http://nsceinc.org/NSCEINC.html
National Society of Christian Educators, Inc. is committed to “equipping the people for the work of ministry” throughout each community, wherever we may be, by focusing on high-risk and troubled youth especially relating to youth and teen violence at schools, on playgrounds, in public places or wherever people are gathered.
We (NSCE), seek to do whatever may be necessary or desirable, to assist high-risk and troubled youth who are on the streets with no one to comfort them, so that they may eventually achieve a place in society as productive and fulfilled adults.
We (NSCE), seek to make a lasting impact on the lives of vulnerable, high-risk, and troubled youth, by partnering with local churches, sisterly organizations, community support groups, fraternities, governmental agencies and television personalities, creating a continuum of care with intervention programs and activities on multiple levels that are sustainable and measurable over time.
