Columbia Urban League Events Spotlight Youth Scholarships, Support for Parents

Two events in Columbia are shining a light on faith and investing in the youth in our community.

At Trinity Baptist Church, the Columbia Urban League (Columbia, SC) called on parents to advocate for their children as they navigate the educational system.

“We want to help our parents; we want them to feel empowered; we don’t want them to feel like they are going through this journey alone, but they have support,” said Felisa McDavid, principal investigator with the Columbia Urban League.

McDavid says some parents who came in wanted to expand their knowledge of special education and the resources available to help their kids with autism.
