Improving life outcomes through mentoring programs and scholarships for youth in Macomb, Oakland, Washtenaw and Wayne counties
ABOUT US
WordPress? Why in the world would I want to use WordPress, I’m not a blogger. I thought of WordPress as a CMS for blogs since it came out around 2003. I was interested in WordPress but quickly decided I didn’t care for the interface. I didn’t think about WordPress that much anymore.
Fast forward to 2017. My instructor wanted us to create a website using WordPress. I had not used the open source CMS for years so, I felt that this would be a great time to reacquaint myself.
I began asking myself, why WordPress? After some research and class, I found out that that approximately 25% of websites are run by WordPress. There are a number of reasons WordPress is selected. A few reasons are:
- the user interface. The user interface is intuitive and easy to navigate.
- the variety and number themes. There are over 20,000 themes for WordPress. Regardless if you need to design an eCommerce site or an informative, there are vast number themes to select. For a number of themes you can easily change colors, styles, categories and format of each theme.
- the number of widgets. There is an extensive number of widgets easy to install and change without needing to code i.e. an event scheduler.
- are mobile friendly site. WordPress themes are mobile friendly. There is no need for heavy coding.
The Southeast Michigan Omega Foundation is a non-profit 501 (c) 3 organization. We were originally incorporated as the Detroit Omega Foundation in 1982. However, in 2014, members of other local non-profits realized that we were all focused on the same target audience with the same objectives – mentoring young African American males and providing them with scholarship opportunities at the college level. As a result of the common interests, a strategic merger took place consolidating the Greater Ann Arbor Omega and Omega C.A.R.E.S. Foundations with the Detroit Omega Foundation, Incorporated in January 2015. As a result, the Detroit Omega Foundation, Incorporated is now doing business as the Southeast Michigan Foundation, Inc. (SMOFI).
The goal of SMOFI is to expand its mentoring and scholarship capabilities to southern Oakland, Washtenaw and Wayne counties, and to be recognized as a highly distinguished and professionally managed mentoring and scholarship foundation in Southeast Michigan.
Our mission is, as it always has been, “To have a strong, positive and uplifting impact on the southeast Michigan youth and their families by providing them with programs and services that educate, mentor, support and broaden their horizons.” Through our newly formed organization, we will have greater opportunities to fulfill this mission on a larger scale.
We are making a difference, changing lives now and for positive future outcomes!
