We help people in need to reach their fullest potential through the power of education, enhancing their knowledge, and facilitating a more ready communication between community leaders and law enforcement . We also provide a safe structured environment for the development of life skills to enable the individuals serviced to become more productive, responsible and confident members in the community. To foster personal growth and stability to better connect people with their families and communities.

  3. Tutoring Tutoring and enrichment began September 2006 under the direction of Pastor Moses and his wife, Sis. Pat Moses. They served twenty-five different students their first years. This program continues to this date. We are now serving fifty different individuals weekly. We have partnered with Ball State University's Volunteer Service. Ball State students get experience and social service hours that are required toward graduation.

  5. Computer Lab The Market Place has a computer lab with twenty state of the art computers. These computers help the children with research topics, and the writing of papers. Computer technology can make individualized attention a real possibility. Computers have the ability to present students with tasks they are interested in doing. They offer students the possibility of becoming inquisitive, and the possibility of exploration,

  12. WEED and Seed-Pilot Safe Haven Program Weed and Seed, a community-based strategy sponsored by the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), is an innovative, comprehensive multiagency approach to law enforcement, crime prevention, and community revitalization. CCDO oversees the Weed and Seed initiative. Weed and Seed is foremost a strategy—rather than a grant program—that aims to prevent, control, and reduce violent crime, drug abuse, and gang activity in designated high-crime neighborhoods across the country. The more than 250 Weed and Seed sites range in size from several neighborhood blocks to several square miles, with populations ranging from 3,000 to 50,000. The Market Place was chosen as a safe haven under the weed and seed program. Every Weed and Seed site is required to establish a Safe Haven, a multiservice center often housed in a school or community center, where many youth- and adult-oriented services are delivered. Through coordinated use of federal, state, local, and private-sector resources, neighborhood restoration strategies focus on economic development, employment opportunities for residents, and improvements to the housing stock and physical environment of the neighborhood.
