ORGANIZATION NIISSION AA"D HISTORY
The mission of the Collaborative Movement for Improvement, Ina (C�II Inc.) is to assisc in development of rhe
African :4merican family cufturally, academically, socially, and politically through the creation of cuihually-centered
programs [hac will operate within the New Beginnin� Center or throu�hout the East Metro .1rea.
The mission of the Center itself is �o minister to the basic survival needs of the disadvan2aeed people of the
community throu�h the disvibution of food and clothing and by providin� advocacy, education, employment shelter,
information, and referral usistancz. The primary emphasis of the Cencer and the or�anizarion is developing self-
esteem, self-pride, and setf-moti-vacion in thz whole pzcson, enabling them to become produccive members of our
communirv and this societv.
CNII Ine. was formed in 1939 to in�oduce bvo pro�iams for African-American hi�h school youth
-Black Teens for AdvancmenC (BT�1) and Sisters In ttte Stru��le for Survival (SISS). Today, the programs have
joined together under one name, $TA. to show additional unity be[ween males and femalzs. This pro�am helps
youth develop appropriate values and behaviors, and promote community service through a basic understandina of
their history.
To encouraQe academic e�cellencz, C�II Ir.c. developed the Educational Exceller•ce Incenrive Program (EEIP) to
provide monetary awards ro parcicipatin� students who achieve specific �rade percentaae increases and attendance
increases during the second semesczr or the fourth qusaer. We also created the BTA Scholars pro�ram that is offered
to BTA �raduatin� seniors. This prooram works with our seniors once they have selzcted and have been acceptzd at
any posc-secondary or vocacional institutionai, and assist them in either findin� the financial aid they need or we
provide small granrs or toans to help them make it through the first yeaz.
As part of our reachin� ou[ to the community, CNII, [nc., ttuough the vision of one of our advisors, devzloned the
�tinnesota Panthers Youth Athle[ic Pro�ram which draws youth, ases I I-l3, into a scructured, amateur Athletic
Union-sanctioned basketball program. The pro�ram is designed to use the spor[ of basketball as the vehicle to rz-
en�aQe youth into school and education. The program provides [utorial services, community szrvice, and a sense of
ince;-�_>eneranonai interacdor� so :�ca ou= youth appreciate tilzi* elders but aiso become resoonsible `or those vounger
dian chemsefves. We belizve thesz strategies will lead [o [he development of excellent :�frican .American !eaders *or
[he future.
Thz Nzw Be�inning Cencer. four.ded in 1972 by the Reverend Dr. Kneely Williams, �.sas crzated ori�inally co pro�ide
tme:gency services, foee. clothing shelter, transpc�ation, and generat crisis

ORGANIZATION NIISSION AA"D HISTORY
The mission of the Collaborative Movement for Improvement, Ina (C�II Inc.) is to assisc in development of rhe
African :4merican family cufturally, academically, socially, and politically through the creation of cuihually-centered
programs [hac will operate within the New Beginnin� Center or throu�hout the East Metro .1rea.
The mission of the Center itself is �o minister to the basic survival needs of the disadvan2aeed people of the
community throu�h the disvibution of food and clothing and by providin� advocacy, education, employment shelter,
information, and referral usistancz. The primary emphasis of the Cencer and the or�anizarion is developing self-
esteem, self-pride, and setf-moti-vacion in thz whole pzcson, enabling them to become produccive members of our
communirv and this societv.
CNII Ine. was formed in 1939 to in�oduce bvo pro�iams for African-American hi�h school youth
-Black Teens for AdvancmenC (BT�1) and Sisters In ttte Stru��le for Survival (SISS). Today, the programs have
joined together under one name, $TA. to show additional unity be[ween males and femalzs. This pro�am helps
youth develop appropriate values and behaviors, and promote community service through a basic understandina of
their history.
To encouraQe academic e�cellencz, C�II Ir.c. developed the Educational Exceller•ce Incenrive Program (EEIP) to
provide monetary awards ro parcicipatin� students who achieve specific �rade percentaae increases and attendance
increases during the second semesczr or the fourth qusaer. We also created the BTA Scholars pro�ram that is offered
to BTA �raduatin� seniors. This prooram works with our seniors once they have selzcted and have been acceptzd at
any posc-secondary or vocacional institutionai, and assist them in either findin� the financial aid they need or we
provide small granrs or toans to help them make it through the first yeaz.
As part of our reachin� ou[ to the community, CNII, [nc., ttuough the vision of one of our advisors, devzloned the
�tinnesota Panthers Youth Athle[ic Pro�ram which draws youth, ases I I-l3, into a scructured, amateur Athletic
Union-sanctioned basketball program. The pro�ram is designed to use the spor[ of basketball as the vehicle to rz-
en�aQe youth into school and education. The program provides [utorial services, community szrvice, and a sense of
ince;-�_>eneranonai interacdor� so :�ca ou= youth appreciate tilzi* elders but aiso become resoonsible `or those vounger
dian chemsefves. We belizve thesz strategies will lead [o [he development of excellent :�frican .American !eaders *or
[he future.
Thz Nzw Be�inning Cencer. four.ded in 1972 by the Reverend Dr. Kneely Williams, �.sas crzated ori�inally co pro�ide
tme:gency services, foee. clothing shelter, transpc�ation, and generat crisis
intz:vention. This also included qzrsonal, spiritual, and chemical counseling. Throu_hout iu 27
year history. the cenczr has been thz biRhplace of African-American Family Szrvices and [hz River of Life Christian
Center and has continued :o pro� idz zssential serviczs to those who are less for[unate. Their motto "\ot a hand out,

ORGANIZATION NIISSION AA"D HISTORY
The mission of the Collaborative Movement for Improvement, Ina (C�II Inc.) is to assisc in development of rhe
African :4merican family cufturally, academically, socially, and politically through the creation of cuihually-centered
programs [hac will operate within the New Beginnin� Center or throu�hout the East Metro .1rea.
The mission of the Center itself is �o minister to the basic survival needs of the disadvan2aeed people of the
community throu�h the disvibution of food and clothing and by providin� advocacy, education, employment shelter,
information, and referral usistancz. The primary emphasis of the Cencer and the or�anizarion is developing self-
esteem, self-pride, and setf-moti-vacion in thz whole pzcson, enabling them to become produccive members of our
communirv and this societv.
CNII Ine. was formed in 1939 to in�oduce bvo pro�iams for African-American hi�h school youth
-Black Teens for AdvancmenC (BT�1) and Sisters In ttte Stru��le for Survival (SISS). Today, the programs have
joined together under one name, $TA. to show additional unity be[ween males and femalzs. This pro�am helps
youth develop appropriate values and behaviors, and promote community service through a basic understandina of
their history.
To encouraQe academic e�cellencz, C�II Ir.c. developed the Educational Exceller•ce Incenrive Program (EEIP) to
provide monetary awards ro parcicipatin� students who achieve specific �rade percentaae increases and attendance
increases during the second semesczr or the fourth qusaer. We also created the BTA Scholars pro�ram that is offered
to BTA �raduatin� seniors. This prooram works with our seniors once they have selzcted and have been acceptzd at
any posc-secondary or vocacional institutionai, and assist them in either findin� the financial aid they need or we
provide small granrs or toans to help them make it through the first yeaz.
As part of our reachin� ou[ to the community, CNII, [nc., ttuough the vision of one of our advisors, devzloned the
�tinnesota Panthers Youth Athle[ic Pro�ram which draws youth, ases I I-l3, into a scructured, amateur Athletic
Union-sanctioned basketball program. The pro�ram is designed to use the spor[ of basketball as the vehicle to rz-
en�aQe youth into school and education. The program provides [utorial services, community szrvice, and a sense of
ince;-�_>eneranonai interacdor� so :�ca ou= youth appreciate tilzi* elders but aiso become resoonsible `or those vounger
dian chemsefves. We belizve thesz strategies will lead [o [he development of excellent :�frican .American !eaders *or
[he future.
Thz Nzw Be�inning Cencer. four.ded in 1972 by the Reverend Dr. Kneely Williams, �.sas crzated ori�inally co pro�ide
tme:gency services, foee. clothing shelter, transpc�ation, and generat crisis
