Research Director for the Upper Room
I'm the Research Director for Swope Corridor Renaissance/Upper Room, Inc., otherwise known as the Upper Room. We're a neighborhood-based non-profit organization whose motto is "Education for Life". We provide many services to the children of inner-city Kansas City, the largest of which is our Summer Academic Camp, a free, all-day summer program that provides reading instruction, athletics, and arts to more than 3,000 students.
