The Jireh Empowerment Outreach Center (JEOC) prays you to join us in our continued efforts to uplift and eradicate issues that Washington County now faces. JEOC is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that was established to provide guidance, resources, and opportunities to the youth and young adults of Washington County. Our organization provides people the power to raise themselves out of the darkness of poverty and inspire the people into purpose.
Our beloved community is faced with teen pregnancy, alarmingly high dropout rates, declining academics, poverty, no jobs, and very limited resources. Over the last five years, our students' achievement records have declined by 13%. Due to limited resources and lack of state funding our schools are ranked within the bottom 50% out of 2567 schools in North Carolina.
The youth of Washington County have no outlets and the majority are latch-key kids. Philippians 4:8 states, that an idle mind is a devil’s workshop, this has led to bullying, gang-related activities, and etc.; so, we need to challenge, uplift, and focus them to have an integrative outlook on life. It’s our vision at JEOC to develop social, emotional, and cognitive skill-building activities that will propel them into their futures.
JEOC is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization in Washington County that relies heavily on the generosity of community businesses, organizations, private donors, and foundations.
