mission StatementMetanoia Community Development Corporation is a movement of people, rooted in faith. We invest in neighborhood assets to build leaders, establish
quality housing and generate economic development. We are pushing forward into new relationsps with God and one another to create strong communities.
vision statementMetanoia envisions a diverse community of people that are inspired and
empowered to make the community better for generations to come; where homeownership and work are accessible to all; where there are academically
achieving schools; where businesses and churches benefit the community; where the quality of life includes green space and recreational opportunities; and where
Reynolds Avenue is a hub of economic activities. We recognize the current residents of our community are essential to the accomplishment of this vision.
Dear Metanoia Family, We invite you to examine Metanoia’s annual report for Fiscal Year
2009-2010. Within these pages you will learn about the dynamic people
and programs that make up our movement. This year has seen progress
in our efforts to invest in our neighborhoods. We are proud of the public-
and private-sector partners that invested nearly $700,000 in Metanoia’s
efforts to build leaders, establish quality housing, and generate economic
development. But more importantly, this annual report highlights the
power of the asset-based, community/public/private partnership model
on which Metanoia was built. The pages that follow will introduce you to
many of the programs and people that make our success possible.
This was a year of significant public recognition for Metanoia.
Out of over 650 applicants, we were one of six community organizations
chosen to receive Metlife’s/LISC Community Police Partnerships Awards
(see picture at left). The award recognized the significant strides in crime
reduction as a result of Metanoia’s collaboration with the North Charleston
Police Department. The South Carolina Secretary of State also named
Metanoia as one of 10 “Angels” in our state for exceptional stewardship of
our funds.
Local and national recognition is thrilling, but at the end of the
day, it is the support of our community, our donors, and faithful friends
like you that means the most to us. We want to thank you for your
continued support. Feel free to browse these pages and learn how your
investment in Metanoia is making a difference.
Sincerely,

The Metanoia Young Leaders Program (MYLP) was Metanoia’s first effort in our community and it
remains the bedrock of all we seek to do at Metanoia. Each day during the school year we work with
40 Young Leaders who are recommended by Chicora School of Communications for their leadership
potential. They receive a warm meal, homework help, and leadership building activities. Students are
also expected to contribute to our community by carrying out service projects and being leaders in their
school. Parents of Young Leaders also put in four hours worth of community participation a month to
keep a child in the program. MYLP is raising a new generation of leaders for our community.
Metanoia’s Civic Leaders Program is comprised of students in the middle school and early high school
that have come up through our Young Leaders Program. Students come to Metanoia daily after school to
receive education in entrepreneurship and financial literacy, in addition to homework help and character
building activities. The Civic Leaders carry out a service project each month in our community and their
two businesses (Isoke Sisters Jewelry and Hodari Brothers Screen Printing) are generating revenue and
teaching students real-world business skills. These students have also opened savings accounts for college
in partnership with First Citizens Bank where Metanoia will match their savings upon graduation.
2009-2010 Metanoia Annual Report 5
* 84% of students in Metanoia’s Young Leaders Program maintain a B or higher average in Math and Reading.* 90% of Young Leaders made progress in showing more caring, confidence, and competence in character surveys.* Students in Metanoia’s CDF Freedom School read over 3,000 books in six weeks of Freedom School. * Metanoi’s Hodari Brothers Screen Printing and Isoke Sisters Jewelry businesses grossed nearly $3,000 in FY 09-10. * Students attending Metanoia’s CDF Freedom School average higher fall testing scores than peers not attending this summer program (MAP testing scores from Chicora Elementary).

I like Metanoia because I learn things that I don’t learn at school, and I am also with my friends at the same time. --Bijion Mills, 4th Grade
Metanoia’s CDF Freedom School continued for its fifth consecutive year. In the summer of 2010 we
had 120 scholars learning a love of reading and citizenship in equal measure. Six of our teenage students
served as Junior Servant Leader Interns, earning a small stipend and taking a further step on their road to
leadership. At the end of the summer students hosted a neighborhood block party to get the word out
about community resources and healthly lifestyles. Special thanks to so many members of the public who
came out to volunteer and read during this summer’s Freedom School.
HOUSINGEven with the troubles in our national housing market, homeownership remains the primary way that
working families are able to build wealth to pass along to future generations. It has also been shown to
be one of the most efficient and long-lasting ways to improve the safety of a community. For this reason,
Metanoia has remained committed to creating quality affordable housing in our community. By building
new homes for first-time homebuyers or renovating distressed homes of low
income homeowners, we build the capacity of our community to maintain
6 2009-2010 Metanoia Annual Report
* On one block where Metanoia developed six homes for first-time homebuyers, violent crime dropped by 64%.* This year Metanoia stewarded a $60,000 investment to provide extensive home repairs to three low income seniors in our community.* In an effort to be well positioned when the housing market recovers, we completed site plans for two potential larger scale affordable housing developments with over 100 units of workforce housing.* Over 145 individuals graduted from Financial Literacy Classes hosted by Metanoia, Charleston Area CDC, and the Homeownership Resource Center.
Key Indicators
Quality
Metanoia’s economic development initiatives seek to reward effort and innovation to establish a functioning
economy in our community. That is why we reward parents who serve in our community with quality
after-school care for their children and why we have created more direct opportunities for individuals in our
community to build their economic capacity. This year, Metanoia’s economic development initiative focused
in two primary areas. The first was in completing a production kitchen in partnership with the Lowcountry
Food Bank that will provide job training in our communities and warm meals to our Children’s programs.
The second was in growing the capacity of
students in Metanoia’s programs to develop
their own entrepreneurship skills. Our students
completed a three-week intensive business camp
and continued growing two small businesses to
earn more income.

8 2009-2010 Metanoia Annual Report
There are over 8,000 charities registered
with the South Carolina Secretary of State.
Each year this office designates just 10 of
these charities to receive the designation of
an “Angel,” for low overhead coupled with
effective programming. Metanoia received the
Angel designation in December 2009 and our
staff traveled to the South Carolina Statehouse
to receive the award.
“Angels are shining examples of charities in South Carolina.”--SC Secretary of State Mark Hammond
William Wert is the current Mayor of Kiawah Island and a former
Executive with General Electric Corporation who was introduced to
Metanoia by Council of Advocates Member Charles Larsen. Mayor
Wert has consistently supported Metanoia over the past three years
because of our innovative approach to developing the assets of the
community, rather than only focusing on needs. “I give to Metanoia
because it is a hand up, not a hand out.”
Mr. and Mrs. Michael Brown have been contributing many forms of
support to Metanoia for several years. As a City Council Member of
North Charleston for the past three years, Councilman Brown personally
gives to Metanoia because of his faith. He feels that this faith asks him “to
be supportive of positive change that will create a better tomorrow for future
generations.”

“I believe that my contribution to Metnaoia is a good investment in the communtiy.” - Chris Kovach
Metanoia Advocates are among our most essential and special supporters. Many non-profits form their
boards of directors around individuals that have the capacity to sustain the organization financially. Metanoia
believes the best solutions for our community come from community residents themselves. Therefore,
most of our Board is made up of residents of our lower income community. Advocates don’t live in our
community, but they believe wholeheartedly in our model for community transformation. They make
annual contributions to Metanoia and introduce us to others in their network. Thank You Advocates!
AdvocatesThe Metanoia Advocates is a gathering of Metanoia’s most consistent and supportive friends. We meet several times a year and receive specialized information about the organization. We also formulate a plan each year to help Metanoia reach its fundraising goals. This group of dynamic and motivated individuals is missing only one thing - YOU. If you are interested in becoming an Advocate please contact Metanoia CEO Bill Stanfield for more details on this
