Our Story
Our Story
One of the goals of S.A.M.S is to build a sense of community. S.A.M.S began in the summer of 2016 with a wish to find ways to support the success of our children including areas of education, family engagement, awareness of resources and more. The African American Family sometimes looks different than the standard family structure, S.A.M.S aims to support African American Mothers and helps to provide a sense of community, togetherness and well-being while supporting the community as a whole.
