West Jackson Community Development Corporation moves to new location
SUMMARY: The West Jackson Community Development Corporation, which helps high school dropouts between the ages of 16 to 24, has moved to a new location on Raymond Road after being located on Lynch Street for many years. The program provides education, construction training, workforce development, job training, and life skills to its students over an eight-month period. If the students do not achieve the desired outcomes, they are required to stay an additional 12 months or until they get a job. The move has been seen as a positive change, as the new location is safer than the previous one. The center was established in 1991 by Jackson State University and others.
