Mr. Frank Chapman
dedicated his life to assisting low-income youngsters in Albany. He created apprentice programs that helped many in the community learn carpentry, landscaping and construction. Frank Chapman passed away in 1987, and Norma Chapman continued his legacy of giving. She started working with non-profit groups and government leaders to raise funds for recreation, employment training, after-school activities, mentoring, fashion shows, community gardens and more in West Hill. “Dad is my role model,” Norma Chapman said.the legacy must continue.
In September, 1995 the Frank Chapman Memorial Institute evolved from being a after-school tutoring club to a non-profit organization that would provide the community with resources that were not available to the inner city residents.
Old African proverb
"It takes a village to raise a child"
so glad we are apart of that village that can raise and help the entire family.
Our community is full of people who want to help. We work to help the people providing services with the people who need them. Come connect with people in new ways.
To help our community
