520 |a The University of Alabama successfully used the improvement of homemaking skills among disadvantaged families in an inner-city poverty pocket as a focus for a multidisciplinary approach to a three-year adult basic education (ABE) program when traditional ABE programs were rejected. The stated program goals were: (1) use the interest in improving homemaking skills to stimulate more responsible citizenship and to encourage individual participation in adult basic education programs; (2) develop models for the aggressive method of achieving individual involvement to motivate program participants toward responsible social and vocational goals; (3) reinforce community members in their daily lives; (4) help them be aware of the sources of help; (5) reach the inner-city's most underprivileged adults; (6) enable the residents to vocalize their need for adult education; and (7) aid the homemakers in seeking new avenues of involvement with outside resources in the solution of their problems. Progress was made by dealing with the residents of Soul City on an individual basis using the city's Living-Learning Center as the focus for making the services of Federal, State, and local government agencies available together with those provided by the University and community volunteers. Various individual and group strategies were employed in increasing ABE impact. (AG)
