ACTION, Inc is a 501c3 organization created by a group of five mothers in Bowling Green, KY, who are passionate about seeing teens in our area succeed at whatever they desire to do. ACTION is the name we chose because taking action is more than just talking about change— it‘s being the change.
Executive Director, Sydney Jones, saw a need in this community and decided to do something about it:
“I worked at a community center a few years ago. When the children at the center turned 13, they couldn‘t come back. I started watching them hang out with the wrong people and engage in the wrong things. A couple years later, I was an intern with the Court Designated Workers. I watched some of the same kids come in after committing crimes, becoming truant, getting into trouble. But, it didn‘t stop there. I became a well known face for a foster care agency and, unfortunately, so did they. Sometimes you enter into the system due to your parents’ actions, and sometimes it is due to your own. Those kids were the driving force behind this organization. They needed me then and someone needs me now. The cycle has to end with someone. I’m going to take action.”

OUR VISION
The vision of ACTION, Inc. is that each student involved in any of our programs will have a short and long-term plan of action to achieve desired success in academics, conflict resolution, employment, and/or transitions. Our hope is that, while the relationships between volunteers and students may change, the motivation and determination will not.
