E.G.G.S.
Program Description
EGGS is a comprehensive youth development program designed to support children and teens academically, socially, and personally—especially those at risk of falling behind.
The program provides free summer meals for all children under 18, academic tutoring for students performing at or below grade level, and enrichment opportunities focused on literacy and STEM. Middle school students receive career and college readiness support, while high school and college students participate in leadership development and mentorship. Life preparedness courses, including financial literacy and career development, help students build practical skills for long-term success.
EGGS also offers cultural and educational trips that broaden students’ perspectives and expose them to experiences they may not otherwise have access to.
More than a summer program, EGGS creates a safe, supportive environment where young people can grow emotionally, relationally, physically, spiritually, and socially. By addressing real barriers—such as access to meals, transportation, and resources—the program ensures that every child can participate fully.
Through positive role models, structured learning, and consistent support, EGGS has helped guide at-risk youth toward academic achievement, leadership, and meaningful career paths—moving students from instability toward confidence, purpose, and opportunity.
E.G.G.S - Historical Trip to Montgomery/Selma Alabama
During a cultural and educational trip to Alabama, students had the opportunity to meet Montgomery’s first Black mayor, Mayor Steven Reed, gaining firsthand insight into leadership, history, and civic engagement.
The group also participated in an in-depth tour of Montgomery and Selma, visiting key sites central to the Civil Rights Movement. Students explored Dexter Avenue Baptist Church, where Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. once served as pastor, and walked across the historic Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma—a powerful landmark of the 1965 Selma to Montgomery voting rights marches. These events, which played a critical role in shaping American history, were later depicted in the award-winning film Selma.
Through this experience, students were able to connect what they’ve learned in the classroom to real places and moments in history, deepening their understanding of the struggle for civil rights and the impact of leadership, courage, and perseverance.
