Bethlehem Center struggles
By Rob Green
The executive director of
the Bethlehem Community
Center (BCC) said the center is
“seriously hampered” by the
February cut-back of CETA
employes.
“We’re understaffed with
the CETA cut-back of 19
employes. And we have a lack
of funds to hire permanent
employes,” Stewart Gandy, the
executive director of BCC,
said. “We need more local
support. We need some good
volunteers.”
In an area of approximately
14,000 people, 98 percent of
whom are black, die center
served nearly 4,000 individuals
“in one way or another, last
year,” Gandy said. “Without
volunteers that number is to be
decreased drastically,” he said.
BCC had a staff number of
55, including 25 CETA
employes, before the cut-back,
Gandy said. Now the staff has
seven CETA employes and
24 permanent employes, he
said. Volunteers are needed to
fill vacant slots in the programs
the center provides, Gandy
said.

“in addition to the CETA
employees and the permanent
employees we have nine Youth
Employment Training Program
employees who will terminate
in May. We hope to get a new
crew at that time," he said.
“We don’t want to imply
that we’re at the point of
considering closing. We’re
going to stay alive,” he said.
With the initial cut-back, BCC
restructured its programs “out
of what was left,” Gandy
added.
“But, if further cut-backs
take place, the center will lose
its remaining CETA employes
and replenishing the center or
replacing the employes would
be uncertain. Where we would
go from there would be
anybody’s guess.”
Whether volunteers are high
schoolers, high school
graduates, college students, or
graduates or retired teachers or
any other persons feeling the
compulsion to get involved and
help, the center will accept
them, Gandy said.
“We have not set any criteria
for volunteers. If an individual
has some expertise in almost
any area, we will make an

effort to put together a group
of individuals to benefit from
such teaching,” Gandy said.
“We’re seeking individuals
interested in helping others to
help themselves.”
Volunteers are needed to fill
slots in community outreach
programs, tutoring, feed-a-kid,
social programs, music,
athletics, scouting and senior
citizen programs, according to
Gandy.
The major sources of funds
are the Board of Global
Ministries of the United
Methodist Church, the United
Way of Augusta, Title XX of
the Department of Human
Resources and the CSRA
Planning and Development
Committee.
“We need more funds.
Contributions come from the
women of the North Georgia
Conference of the United
Methodist Church and women
of the Augusta district and
interested individuals from
local churches,” Gandy said.
