MISSION - WHAT WE DO

On a foundation of Christian faith, Martha O’Bryan Center empowers children, youth, and adults in poverty to transform their lives through work, education, employment and fellowship.

VISION - GOALS AND ASPIRATIONS

A dynamic anti-poverty nonprofit organization with deep community roots, Martha O’Bryan Center (MOBC) serves low wealth families and children in Middle TN. We assist families rise above poverty in one generation. Operating 10 sites in Nashville and working collaboratively across Middle TN, our headquarter services are in Nashville’s Cayce Place Homes.

SERVICES - HOW WE DO IT

Over 8,000 people are directly served annually across two program pathways – EDUCATION including early childhood, youth development, k-8 charter schools, high school Academic Student Unions, post-secondary support and FAMILY ECONOMIC MOBILITY including parent empowerment, adult education and post secondary services, career support, preschool care, food security, and family/crisis counseling. Family Success Network Designed alongside community members, the Family Success Network is an inclusive third space where community members access the tools, opportunities, and networks necessary for educational success, economic security, and holistic well-being. Each participating family, with their Family Coach, assembles a team of support to achieve the family’s education and career goals. Family & Community Services Our Community Engagement team is a conduit for community voice, and ensures our neighbors’ most pressing needs are identified and addressed. Our Resident Council promotes a continuous feedback loop between the people we serve and the programs and resources in our community. Our Food Security team runs the busiest food bank in Nashville, a place where many people connect for the first time with various resources at Martha O’Bryan Center. Through Counseling and Pastoral Care, we stabilize and strengthen our families by promoting mental health and spiritual wellness.

Our Food Bank hours are: Monday – Friday | 9:00am to 2:00pm. Senior Food Boxes – Martha O’Bryan Center is a distribution site for the CSFP boxes for senior citizens. Meals on Wheels – The center distributes nutrition boxes to senior citizens in the East Nashville area weekly.

K-8 Education - Martha O’Bryan Center provides K-8 students out-of-school time tutoring and enrichment at our headquarter campus and in partner schools during the school year, and with camp during the summer. When schools are closed for virtual learning, we are able to move our different sites all onto our headquarter campus for year-round support when students need it most. High School and Academic Student Union - By providing vital year-round academic supports and a structured space for students to pursue their passions, our Academic Student Unions (ASUs) ensure students graduate from high school on time and transition seamlessly to post-secondary opportunities. College and Career - Our team supports hundreds of adults every year on the path to thriving careers, with programs for Postsecondary Success, Adult Education, Employment Coaching, and Digital Empowerment. We also provide targeted supports to young adults ages 17-24 who are disconnected from education or employment with The Re-engagement Hub.
