GIVING BACK

Parkwood believes in using a portion of our profits to serve the needs of others. To that end we’ve invested in and are actively involved with a number of organizations including:

CURE

Fight poverty and restore dignity through the messages of faith, freedom, and personal responsibility. Founded and run by Star Parker, the Center for Urban Renewal and Education is a non-profit think tank based in Washington, DC. Our mission is to fight poverty and restore dignity through the messages of faith, freedom, and personal responsibility. Building awareness that a conservative agenda of traditional values, limited government and free markets is of the greatest marginal benefit to low-income Americans. Working in the media, on Capitol Hill and in poor communities to promote social policy that protects unborn life; and market-based public policy that transitions poor Americans from government dependency to economic independence.

Grace Marriage

Recognizing the need for pro-active protection and enrichment of marriages, Grace Marriage works with local churches to implement the coaching program to start a marriage movement in the couple and the church. It is a grass roots effort to bring marriages alive, churches alive and ultimately, with God’s favor, turn the culture back to God’s plan for marriage and the family.

Long Island Youth Mentoring

Long Island Youth Mentoring is a ministry to fatherless children, was established in 1981. Called Long Island Youth Guidance at the time, the mission was (and still is) to assist the Christian Church on Long Island to responsibly reach out to fatherless and orphaned children in need of hope through caring and consistent one on one relationships. Over the past 31 years, we have refined our systems of operation in order to provide safe and effective ministry to thousands of children, teenagers, and their families. These systems are now, in many ways, considered the gold standard of Christian mentoring nationwide and abroad.
