The Community Learning Enhancement Institute (CLEI) Task Force, sponsored by the Escambia Juvenile Justice Council, wants to develop the Community Learning Enhancement Institute, Inc. (CLEI) on a small-scaled pilot level beginning with the CLEI's Administration and one of its at-risk prevention and intervention program components - the Nautilus Learning Resource Center (NLRC). The NLRC will be a comprehensive, multifaceted facility that will provide diagnostic, evaluative and prescriptive learning services and opportunities for pediatric and adult clients with specific learning disabilities, ADHD.

If you yourself and/or you know of family members, friends, coworkers, etc. who have struggled with learning in school due to learning issues such as dyslexia, dysgraphia, processing disorders, ADHD, etc. and know that more assistance is required other than mere accommodations (e.g. extra time, medication only) can provide, then perhaps you should seek out more information about the proposed NLRC to be headquartered as part of the CLEI in the Pensacola, FL area. The NLRC is designed to provide specialized and therapeutic personal, socioemotional, academic, interest/talent, career, service learning and educational developmental and support services and opportunities on a personalized level throughout the lifespan of the individual as well as for the family. Additional therapeutic services will include speech and language, occupational therapy and other warranted therapeutic services all in one facility.

The CLEI Task Force needs assistance with:

• Nonprofit business organizational management
• Startup operational processes
• Administrative organizational management
• A possible fiscal sponsorship with a professional and reputable organization that can assist with startup operational fiscal and administrative management, while waiting on nonprofit status approval
• Developing a capital campaign for operational management
• Securing real estate location(s)
• Human resources management formation and personnel recruitment
• And much more

We need people who are committed to our cause and will proactively help us with the developmental incubation of the startup phase in order to begin assisting those in need, including the following:

• A "voice"for the CLEI (e.g. a/an Oprah or Bill Gates personality) - someone who is recognizable, reputable by society and passionate about human empowerment and the achievement potential of at-risk children, youth, families, adults
• Social philanthropists, corporate sponsors, organizational affiliates and supporters
• Nonprofit business managers
• Administrative organizational and human resource managers

• Professionals (e.g. learning center director, neuropsychologists, learning disability specialists, AD/HD specialists, occupational therapists, expressive arts therapists, speech/language therapists, etc.) with expertise, certifications and experience in specific learning disabilities, AD/HD, high functioning autism
• And more
