About the Project<\/span><\/h3>\n

This collection explores what it means to both be raised and raise children in the neighborhoods served by Operation Shoestring, a nonprofit that provides year-round academic, social and emotional support to children in central Jackson from pre-K \u2013 7th grade, while supporting and providing resources to their families. Interviews were conducted by volunteer community members with their family members, friends, and neighbors through a project led by Operation Shoestring\u2019s Research and Data Coordinator Alison Turner.<\/span><\/p>\n
